Freepen.gr - Οι Σύμμαχοι του ΝΑΤΟ σε ανακοίνωσή τους καλούν μεταξύ άλλων τη Ρωσία να σταματήσει τις προκλήσεις της και να αποκλιμακώσει αμέσως τις εντάσεις στα σύνορα της Ουκρανίας και στην "παράνομα προσαρτημένη Κριμαία".
Το ΝΑΤΟ θεωρεί ότι οι ενέργειες της Ρωσίας για περιορισμό της πρόσβασης μέσω των Στενών του Κερτς και απαγόρευση της ναυσιπλοΐας στην Αζοφική θάλασσα αποτελούν μέρος του ευρύτερου προτύπου αποσταθεροποιητικής συμπεριφοράς της χώρας στην περιοχή και καλεί τη Ρωσία να σταματήσει αμέσως τις προκλήσεις.
Ακολουθούν αναλυτικά τα τέσσερα σημεία της ανακοίνωσης:
- NATO Allies support and stand in solidarity with the United States,
following its 15 April announcement of actions to respond to Russia’s
destabilising activities. Allies are taking actions individually and
collectively to enhance the Alliance’s collective security.
- Russia continues to demonstrate a sustained pattern of
destabilising behaviour, including its violations of Ukraine’s and
Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and continued
violation, non-implementation, and circumvention of numerous
international obligations and commitments, including the Budapest
Memorandum. Examples include attempted interference in Allied
elections, including the U.S. presidential election; widespread
disinformation campaigns; and malicious cyber activities. The United
States and other Allies assess that all available evidence points to the
responsibility of the Russian Federation for the SolarWinds hack. We
stand in solidarity with the United States. We condemn the attack on
Alexei Navalny, a Russian opposition figure, with the use of a nerve
agent from the banned Novichok group. Any use of chemical weapons, under
any circumstances, is a clear breach of international law and contrary
to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Reports that Russia encouraged
attacks against U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan are also of concern.
- Allies will continue to work in close consultation to address
Russia’s actions, which constitute a threat to Euro-Atlantic security.
We call on Russia to cease immediately its destabilising behaviour, and
to uphold its international obligations, as Allies do theirs, including
existing arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation agreements and
commitments. We also call on Russia to cease its provocations and to
immediately de-escalate tensions on Ukraine’s borders and in
illegally-annexed Crimea.
- While we continue to ensure our deterrence and defence posture, NATO remains open to periodic, focused, and meaningful dialogue, and to a constructive relationship with Russia when Russia’s actions make that possible. We regret that Russia continues to disregard NATO’s early 2020 invitation to hold a meeting of the NATO-Russia Council.
