NATO warns Russia to step back from the brink
8/8/2014 10:23:08 AM
NATO secretary Rasmussen called on Russia to step back from the brink. Step back from the border. Do not use peacekeeping as an excuse for war-making.
He said that Russia would face deeper, more profound, tougher sanctions from the West if it continues to intervene through military proxies in Ukraine's eastern regions. Rasmussen said the new sanctions contemplated would hurt the Russian economy.
Rasmussen also told journalists that NATO is prepared to deepen its cooperation immediately with Ukraine in education, training and joint exercises designed to modernize Ukraine's armed forces and security services.
He also said that NATO had all the capabilities needed to ensure effective protection of all allies and that the illegal Russian behavior has created a completely new security situation in Europe. Since the end of the Cold War, for more than 20 years, NATO spent a lot of effort to develop a constructive relationship with Russia, develop a true strategic partnership with Russia. As we all see, Russia doesn't consider NATO as a partner. On the contrary, when you read Russian military documents and you listen to political leaders in the Kremlin, you realize they consider NATO an adversary, he said
