"Moscow has no reason to believe that new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will do anything but continue down an anti-Russian path during his tenure," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing, APA reports citing TASS.
"As for Mark Rutte, he proved his ardent commitment to the camp of Atlanticists and Russia haters as Dutch prime minister. I think the fact that he is a proven Russia hater is what earned him the position of NATO secretary general. There is no doubt that he will continue to pursue his anti-Russian approaches in his new role," the diplomat pointed out.
"That said, we should probably expect even harsher anti-Russian rhetoric; but we will definitely see nothing constructive," Zakharova added.
