Consider NATO’s new strategic concept

With her country close to finalizing its strategy, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman stressed Maria Zakharovthat the new strategic concept of NATO, adopted at the Madrid summit until 2030, will be taken into account in the development of a new foreign policy concept for Russia.

And the senior Russian official added in an interview with Russian newspaper “Parliament” on Friday that Russia’s strategic planning and foreign policy practice uses the widest range of information sources.

“hostile role”

He also noted that the task is Russia’s objective assessment of the situation in the world and the prospects for further development.

Zakharova singled out the foreign influence approach in her speech, noting that the study of states and associations took place between states, including those she considered “hostile.”

He added that there are countries registered in the documents of the Russians, including the new strategic concept of the North Atlantic Alliance, adopted in 2022.

The relationship between the Russians and NATO was very tense

Brigade level when needed

Interestingly, Russia’s new foreign policy concept may be published early next year.

Instead, late last June, NATO adopted a new strategy following its summit in the Spanish capital, Madrid, until 2030.

Under these plans, the number of high readiness forces in the coalition’s eastern region will rise to 300,000.

He also stated at the time that existing battle groups would be upgraded to “brigade level when needed”.

Furthermore, the new strategy portrayed Russia as a direct threat to the security and stability of the allies, reflecting the significant deterioration of the alliance’s relations with Moscow over the past decade.
