The US and NATO are ignoring Russia’s concerns, talking about the right of other countries to join the alliance, Putin said. But one cannot strengthen the security of some countries at the expense of others, he added. According to Putin, Moscow had already been promised not to move the alliance’s infrastructure to the east, but as a result, several waves of expansion took place: “As our people say, they threw it, deceived it.” Then the United States withdrew from the ABM treaty, and now there are installations in Eastern Europe on which it is possible to put Tomahawk cruise missiles, he continued.
