Rogozin finds it necessary to raise a number of acute issues with NATO, including such as the UN plans to place missile defence elements in Eastern Europe. This means the appearance in close vicinity of Russia fire arms, which can do nothing but trigger return reaction from Moscow. Meaning the possible development jointly with Belarus of a unified system of anti-aircraft defence, communication and radio-electronic fight
We understand that the U.S. wants the shield not because of the bad guys in Iran, because the bad guys in Iran don’t have that kind of technology. The talk of the bad guys in Iran is all a fairytale. We treat these plans as being against Russia. We’ve done everything we can to establish a political dialogue, but it looks like we will need to respond with military-technical measures. They will be cheaper than what the U.S. has, but will be very effective.
Dmitry Rogozin: "I can say what Russia doesn’t like, but I can’t say we know what we expect of NATO. No one knows what Russia-NATO cooperation will result in, but I’ve always advocated cold peace instead of a hot war. So I hope we all work together for mutual security"
President Vladimir Putin appointed his old chum Dmitry Rogozin to be Russia's permanent representative to Nato. Described as a firebrand nationalist by those who know him in Moscow, Rogozin is in fact a seasoned campaigner with a solid pedigree, having studied journalism at Moscow State University before entering politics to head up the Kremlin-backed Motherland Party
"NATO's problem is that it is trying to invent an enemy in order to keep the alliance together," Rogozin said last month in an interview at the Russian parliament. "That is why people who are looking for a motivation for NATO need to present Russia as an enemy. Why is NATO expanding to the east and at the same time claims that the threat is coming from the south? If the threat is coming from the south, why don't they go to the south?"
Mr Rogozin's appointment by President Putin on Thursday was seen in Moscow as a reflection of Russia's more assertive stance towards the West. A former head of the anti-immigration Russian Motherland party, Mr Rogozin has previously warned the Kremlin that Nato poses a threat and he has called for Russia to stand firm against independence for Kosovo.
