BRUSSELS - Russia's ambassador to NATO has denounced the alliance's move to deploy additional forces near the Russian borders as a blow to European security. Alexander Grushko's comments on June 16 followed a meeting of NATO defense ministers, who agreed to deploy four multinational battalions on a rotational basis to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. They also discussed establishing a Romanian-led multinational "framework brigade" of ground troops to help defend the Black Sea area.
