"Russia has never had and does not intend to attack NATO and the EU," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, APA reports citing TASS.
"We have repeatedly proposed to NATO capitals that they respect their commitments and agree on legally binding security guarantees. Our proposals have been ignored, and continue to be ignored. Moreover, threats to use force against Russia, which is accused of practically planning to attack NATO and EU countries, are increasingly being made. President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly debunked such provocations. Russia has never had, and does not have, such intentions," he noted.
