MOSCOW, October 23 (Xinhua) -- Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Glushko said on the 23rd that NATO returned to the Cold War model again after taking the "road of evolution."
Glushko said on a live broadcast on Russian television that in fact, NATO is still living in cold war mode today, and its main energy is used to defend against the so-called "Eastern threat".
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on the same day that NATO's strategy to contain Russia confirms that Russia's decision to end its official dialogue with it is correct.
On the 6th of this month, NATO announced that it had revoked the permanent qualifications of 8 members of the Russian mission to NATO and once again reduced the number of Russian mission personnel from 20 to 10. NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg said on the 7th that NATO expelled 8 members of the Russian Permanent Mission to NATO because they were engaged in espionage.
In response to NATO's actions, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov announced on the 18th that Russia will suspend the work of its permanent mission to NATO from November 1; at the same time, it will suspend the activities of the NATO Military Liaison Office in Moscow and terminate the activities of the NATO Information Office in Moscow at the Belgian Embassy in Russia.
