NATO’s actions violate security indivisibility principle, Lavrov says

The situation on the continent continues to be complicated, Russia's top diplomat noted

SAN MARINO, March 21. /TASS/. NATO’s actions close to Russia’s borders violate the principle of the indivisibility of security, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in the Grand and General Council (parliament) of San Marino on Thursday.

"It is no secret that the situation on our common continent continues to be complicated. We see the ongoing policy aimed at stepping up NATO’s military and political activities and bringing the alliance’s military infrastructure closer to Russia’s borders," Lavrov noted.

"We observe violations of the principle of the indivisibility of security despite the fact that commitments not to bolster one’s security at the expense of others were enshrined in OSCE and NATO-Russia Council documents approved by consensus at the top level," he said.
