Ex-ambassador of the USA: we "should curb Russia"
The aggressive activities of Russia, which it is currently conducting, need a “concrete response”, RIA News Statement by the former Ambassador of the Moscow School of Music Michael McFaul.
"The United States must, in accordance with its needs, curb Russia and respond to it," McFaul said, adding that "Russia’s actions forced NATO to repel the threat posed by Moscow."
In his opinion, “the alliance’s approaching the borders of Russia is legal,” since there was no promise not to expand NATO to the East.
“This promise was not given,” the diplomat said.
