Matvienko: The West is deceiving Russia, like Yanukovych
It is possible that NATO would have approached the borders of Russia, even if the Soviet leadership had concluded an agreement with the Alliance on guarantees of non-expansion.
Speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Valentina Matvienko stated this today at a press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The West could not be trusted. It cannot be ruled out that they would still have violated their obligations, since they preserved the NATO military bloc, whose task is to involve as many states as possible into its orbit and spend as much money as possible on the military-industrial complex, moving closer to the enemy. And since there was no enemy, it was necessary to appoint one. Russia was appointed.
They could violate these guarantees, as many examples confirm. Look. They gave written political guarantees to Yanukovych, but two days later they were violated. Treaty on the Elimination of Short- and Medium-Range Missiles. There are many such examples,” Matvienko said.
