MOSCOW, October 8. /TASS/. Moscow will formulate and implement response measures to NATO’s actions against Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday, underscoring that the Alliance is cutting options for a dialogue.

"Undoubtedly, some response measures will be formulated in a way that would comply with our interests the most, and they will be implemented," the spokesman said, adding that "a cooperation [between Russia and NATO] is out of discussion, because there is no cooperation, essentially."

"Our NATO counterparties narrow the options for a dialogue," Peskov said.

On Wednesday, NATO announced its decision to cut the Russian diplomatic mission from 20 people to 10 before the end of October, adding that the diplomatic accreditation of 8 diplomats had been withdrawn.

"NATO is not an instrument of cooperation, not an instrument for interaction; it is a bloc that overall is anti-Russian in nature," the spokesman said. "This is how we see it, and this perception is clearly evidenced by this bloc’s actions".
