Prospective Increase of US Troops in Poland to Violate Russia-NATO Founding Act - Lavrov
The United States will violate the Russia-NATO Founding Act if it deploys more troops in Poland, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday
MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th April, 2019) The United States will violate the Russia-NATO Founding Act if it deploys more troops in Poland, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday.
On Monday, Polish National Defense Minister Mariusz Blasczak said that a decision on the increase of the number of US troops in Poland has been made.
"[The plans] reflect the United States' policy of scrapping all security arrangements that have existed in the Euro-Atlantic region. In this case, we deal with undermining one of the key provisions of the founding act between Russia and NATO, according to which no substantial combat forces are stationed on a permanent basis on the territory of new members of NATO," Lavrov said.
