(Prensa Latina) The European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) scheduled a meeting for next Thursday at the level of ambassadors to discuss regional security issues.
An EU spokesman told media that this contact to reconcile positions will take place in the midst of an escalation of tensions with Russia, a country that considers the presence of NATO forces on its borders a serious threat.
The meeting between the North Atlantic Council and the Political and Security Council of the EU, with the participation of allied and EU ambassadors, will serve to “polish some coordination details,” the source said.
In the opinion of analysts, there are differences in the actions of some NATO and EU member nations, as evidenced by the opposition of EU countries to the withdrawal of personnel from their embassies in Ukraine, which has already been ordered by the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov indicated last Friday that his country does not want wars, but neither will it allow its security interests to be brutally attacked.
Lavrov stressed that the United States and NATO, after more than a month studying a draft agreement submitted by Moscow, delivered an unsatisfactory answer on January 26 on the main issue of curbing the bloc’s military expansion and the deployment of offensive weapons that threaten Russia.
