While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov voiced hope that Saturday's move would persuade Alliance member nations to ratify the pact, a Russian military analyst was quoted as describing Putin's decision as "a deeply unfriendly act".
Iako je glasnogovornik Kremlja Dmitry Peskov izrazio nadu kako će korak poduzet u subotu navesti zemlje članice Saveza na ratifikaciju sporazuma, ruski vojni analitičar opisao je Putinovu odluku kao "duboko neprijateljski čin".
