"The NATO people should realize that any threat to our country's security from them will not be left unretaliated," Maria Zakharova warned | Russia is not planning an attack on anyone, including NATO, nor has it ever harbored such designs, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on the sidelines of the World Youth Festival.

Contrary to Stubb's expectations, the spokeswoman said, the deployment of US nuclear weapons will worsen the security of host countries. Zakharova wondered if Stubb asked the opinion of his voters on the issue and whether he himself realizes the risks of such a move.
