Diplomat warns deployment of new US forces in Europe destabilizes European security

The deployment by the Obama team of additional forces in Europe lately is a destabilizing factor for European security, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Meshkov said on the sidelines of the Gaidar Forum.

"Speaking about the deployment of the US forces in Europe by the Obama administration over the past days, moreover such a hasty one, then certainly, this is a destabilizing factor for the entire European security," Meshkov said according to TASS News Agency on Thursday.

"We have repeatedly said that the attempts to hide behind the so-called rotational principle are nothing but a large-scale preparation of the military of the NATO countries on the alliance’s eastern frontiers, put it simply, in direct proximity of our borders," Meshkov added.
