北约停止所有与俄罗斯的合作 Nato foreign ministers have agreed to suspend all practical civilian and military co-operation with Russia. 北约外交部长批准暂停所有与俄罗斯的民事、军事合作。 Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Russia's annexation（合并） of Ukraine's Crimea region was the gravest threat to European security for a generation. There could be no "business as usual", he added. He had earlier categorically denied reports that Russia was pulling its forces back from its border with Ukraine. Moscow is believed to have massed tens of thousands of troops on Ukraine's eastern border in recent days, causing alarm in Kiev and the West. Foreign ministers from the 28-member Nato bloc, gathering in Brussels for their first meeting since Russia's annexation of Crimea, issued a strongly worded statement in which they condemned Russia's "illegal" annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region. They agreed to suspend Nato co-operation with Russia in a number of bodies but added that dialogue in the Nato-Russia Council could continue, as necessary, at ambassadorial level and above "to allow us to exchange views, first and foremost on this crisis. We will review Nato's relations with Russia at our next meeting in June". They are also looking at options including situating permanent military bases in the Baltic states to reassure members in Eastern Europe. Russia's actions in Ukraine have caused concern in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which were part of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. |
