MOSCOW (Sputnik) - NATO is most likely to reaffirm its policy toward Russia at the upcoming summit in Vilnius, continuing to consider Moscow as a direct threat to the bloc based on statements and actions by the alliance, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told Sputnik.
"The course [toward Russia] was set by previous decisions at NATO summits where Russia was called a direct threat to the alliance. Based on political statements, actions, focus of military development and planning of unstoppable support for Ukraine so as to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, it is this course that will be reaffirmed in Vilnius," Grushko said.
