Russia and NATO: theses of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy
Article Abstract:
The relationship of Russia and NATO is being endangered by NATO's plan to include some countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) as members. The plan, which can benefit both the NATO and the prospective members from the CEE, is considered by Russia as detrimental to its interests. While the importance of NATO in the security of democratic states is recognized by Russia, NATO's enlargement could result in the military and political isolation of Russia and trigger its anti-western sentiments.

The expansion of NATO and the future of the CFE treaty
Article Abstract:
Russia believes that the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty should build a material foundation, with the participation of Russia, to maintain conventional arms equilibrium in Europe and to serve as a competent security system in Europe. Western countries' attempt to expand NATO to Eastern Europe may affect the CFE treaty's power and military balance in Europe. A new arms control treaty must come into existence if the CFE is scraped.
