Grusko, in his reaction, noted that relations with neighbouring Russia have never taken military dimensions, despite strained relations with some of them, including the Baltic states.

Grusko also talked about isolation, which, according to him, the West is trying to impose on Russia.

“Establishing solid security systems cannot succeed without Russia”, he said.
