MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Deployment of four NATO battalions in Eastern Europe on a rotational basis does not violate the NATO-Russia Founding Act, UK Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said Tuesday.
NATO Summit in Poland's capital was held on July 8-9 and focused on relations with Russia. During the summit the Alliance decided to strengthen its military presence in Eastern Europe on a rotational basis with four battalions in Poland and in the Baltic nations.
"The rotational format for the four extra battalions does not violate the NATO-Russia Founding Act," Fallon said.
