The head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry, Urmas Reinsalu, made a proposal to terminate the 1997 founding act between Russia and NATO. This is reported by the press service of the Estonian Foreign Ministry.
According to the head of the republic's foreign Ministry, based on Russia's special operation in Ukraine, there is no question of cooperation between the Russian Federation and NATO and the previously concluded act has lost its force.
According to the results of the parliamentary elections held in Estonia in early March, the Isamaa ("Fatherland") party, of which Reinsalu is a member, did not gain enough votes and ended up in opposition. After the new composition of the Cabinet of Ministers of the country is formed, Reinsalu will lose his current position.
The essence of the agreements between Russia and NATO is to reduce the number of armed forces, the number of available weapons, as well as to create a fundamentally new security architecture. One of the fundamental conditions of the agreement is to maintain military parity, achieved not at the expense of an arms race.
The document proposed the creation of a model of relations between the former adversaries, which allowed to exercise control over the process of reducing offensive capabilities, while strengthening cooperation in the field of security.
In fact, the NATO bloc was the first to violate this treaty by beginning expansion to the east, towards the borders of the Russian Federation.
