Russia will suspend the work of its mission to NATO
The work of the Russian mission to NATO will be suspended from November 1, 2021, said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. In addition, the activities of the NATO military liaison mission in Moscow will be suspended and the work of the information bureau of the North Atlantic Alliance, which was established at the Belgian embassy, will be terminated. Moscow announced these measures in response to NATO’s decision to revoke the accreditation of several employees of the Russian permanent mission to the organization.
- If NATO has an urgent need to contact Russian representatives, they will be able to contact the Russian ambassador to Belgium, Lavrov explained. According to the former permanent representative of Russia to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, a “sad ending” has come in relations between Russia and the alliance, and this lies on the conscience of the bloc’s officials. “They were the ones who grossly and repeatedly violated the principle they themselves proposed that the work of the Russia-NATO Council should be carried out in any political weather,” Rogozin explained.
