Gia Volski – Russian President’s statement is direct menacing

Russian President’s statement is direct menacing since Putin believes that Georgia’s integration into NATO contradicts to Russia’s strategic interests – Gia Volski, Georgian Parliament’s Vice Speaker stated.

“Georgia’s NATO integration is our aspiration to ensure the country’s security in long-term perspective and to evade aggression that comes from our northern neighbor,” Volski said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia’s reaction to Georgia, Ukraine NATO membership will be extremely negative. “For us, well, it’s a direct and immediate threat for our national security…moving this NATO infrastructure towards our borders would be a threat, and the reaction would be extremely negative,” Putin said in an interview with Fox News.
