NATO's behavior forces Moscow to take tough measures and reduce the level of representation of the alliance. Now, at the headquarters of the Organization of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, diplomat Alexander Grushko. If he is recalled, Brussels will be deprived of the possibility of emergency contacts and, if necessary, will be in the role of an audience petitioner.
Moscow is considering the option of lowering the level of representation in NATO before an interim attorney. The final decision has not yet been made, a high-ranking source in the Russian Foreign Ministry told Izvestiya. However, the endless attempts of Brussels to bring any discussion to the indictments against Russia indicate that NATO is not tuned to a constructive dialogue. Accordingly, to keep the post of the alliance under the alliance - literally do not respect yourself.
Most likely, the final point in this issue will put the meeting of the Russia-NATO Council on July 13. If the alliance is ready to listen and hear, the sense in close diplomatic cooperation will be. If not - the channel of free contacts will be blocked by Moscow. This does not mean a rupture of relations - just in case of need to discuss some aspect, Brussels will have to accept the need to wait for the time allotted for such procedures.
According to First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs Vladimir Jabarov, the proposed measures on the part of Russia are completely justified. Moscow has always been open to cooperation and it's not her fault that relations with the alliance are not the most rosy now, the senator notes.. He believes that now much will depend on how Russia's relations with the US will develop:
if it is possible to establish a dialogue, then it will become easier with Brussels and, more importantly, communicate more constructively. According to Jabarov, the world situation is now such that the pendulum can easily swing both in one direction and in the other direction. Therefore, Moscow temporarily took a wait-and-see attitude, but made it clear: it does not feel the need to communicate with NATO and its representative can easily leave the alliance. Establish the same broken connections will be much more difficult.
