Moscow-Sana
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said today that the response of NATO and the European Union to Russia's request on the principle of indivisible security fundamentally violates the sovereignty of member states.
TASS news agency quoted Zakharova as saying: "In fact, this is the development of the scenario that we are constantly talking about... when many Western countries (members of NATO and the European Union) simply lose their sovereignty, or we can say borrow it."
Zakharova explained that Russia sent letters to each sovereign country separately, but for some reason received the answers from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and European Commission representative Josep Borrell, noting that the leadership of (NATO) and the European Union prevented their member states from talking to other countries on national level and this really takes away its sovereignty.
Last month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov sent letters to the foreign ministers of a number of European countries, as well as the United States and Canada, regarding the indivisibility of security, but Borrell published a tweet in which he said that he had sent a response to Lavrov in which he called on Moscow for dialogue. In return, Stoltenberg said he had sent a message to The Russian Foreign Minister calls for new negotiations on Ukraine and military transparency.
