Russian Diplomat: ‘NATO Expansion will Have Disastrous Consequences’

Russia’s permanent representative to NATO, Alexander Grushko, said that the integration of Georgian and Ukraine into the Alliance would have “the most serious consequences" for the entire Europe.

He told Russian TV channel Lifenews: “Any kind of political game over the issue of NATO expansion towards Georgia and Ukraine is fraught with the most serious and the most profound geopolitical consequences for the entire Europe.”

He also added that he assumes that “people in Brussels and other capitals understand the dangers of this game, which certain forces are trying to play.”

“It will have disastrous consequences; it will have disastrous consequences for Ukraine itself,” the Russian diplomat said.
