Some NATO countries could conclude non-aggression pacts with Moscow to receive security guarantees, said Alexei Drobinin, director of the Foreign Ministry's foreign policy planning department. According to him, the principle of non-division of security can be implemented in various ways, starting from defense alliances following the example of the Collective Security Treaty Organization or the treaty between Russia and the DPRK to bilateral agreements, TASS reports. "These can be bilateral agreements, which in their meaning correspond to the criteria of mutual non-aggression agreements. For example, such agreements can be reached, including with individual NATO countries, in which case they will receive, for example, additional personal security guarantees from the Russian Federation," said Drobinin at the International Collective Security Forum. At the same time, the diplomat did not specify which countries of the North Atlantic Alliance were involved. As the newspaper VZGLYAD wrote, on Tuesday the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexander Grushko announced the unreadiness of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance to build security together with Moscow. On Saturday, the Russian Foreign Ministry indicated the destruction of the previous security architecture due to the crisis caused by NATO.
Last year, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov, announced Moscow's willingness to legally guarantee guarantees of non-aggression against the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance.
