IZHEVSK, April 24. /TASS/. High-ranking NATO officers are reportedly infiltrating the leadership structures of the Ukrainian armed forces to exert direct control, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a briefing.
According to the diplomat, the European Union makes no secret of the fact that the new EU civilian mission to Armenia will make it possible for Brussels to interfere into domestic affairs of that country.
She also pointed out that Brussels inflicts harm to itself and undermines its energy security by imposing sanctions against Russian hydrocarbons.
TASS has summed up the spokeswoman’s key statements.
Russia will take tough measures in response to the European Union’s 20th package of anti-Russian sanctions: "We will take response measures. They will be tough. They will be determined and implemented in accordance with our interests."
