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".
Mada je portparol Kremlja Dmitri Peskov izrazio nadu da će korak preduzet u subotu navesti zemlje članice Alijanse da ratifikujju sporazum, ruski vojni analitičar je opisao Putinovu odluku kao "duboko neprijateljski čin".
