“'Life
shows that the reliability of some of our western partners is
temporary and that is because, unfortunately, it is very tight with
the political environment,' Mikhail Popov, deputy chairman of the
Russian Security Council, told RIA Novosti in an interview."
“A
special working group was set up within the framework of the Russian
Security Council to introduce amendments to the doctrine, which was
last updated in 2010.”
“It’s
obvious that the changes in the military doctrine should be directed
at the removal of our dependence on the import of machine tool
production, deliveries of raw materials, ready-made materials and
parts,”
“Russia
is currently undergoing a $640 billion rearmament program aimed at
increasing the share of modern weaponry in Russia’s armed forces to
70 percent by 2020.”
"NATO’s
increased military activities in Eastern Europe is a threat to Russia
and is forcing Moscow to come up with reciprocal measures in order to
protect itself, ..."
“When
NATO troops are approaching our borders, of course, we develop a plan
… It is a threat when troops are being stationed next to your
border. I recall NATO’s commitment not to expand the bloc’s
territory eastward … All that remains to us is to somehow oppose
this expansion of NATO,”
"Russian
Security Council deputy secretary Mikhail Popov told RIA Novosti
Russia is going to make amendments to its military doctrine triggered
by geopolitical factors, including NATO’s activities next to
Russian borders and the situation in Ukraine."
"Russia
has criticized NATO’s actions, arguing they lead to greater
instability in the region."
