Lavrov has stated he believes NATO needs to make the next move, "We are waiting for answers from our colleagues, written answers, put on paper." But Jens Stoltenberg, NATO's secretary general, told CNN on Wednesday that it's up to Russia to respond to NATO's diplomatic outreach on arms control talks and other reciprocal military agreements. "We are waiting for the answer to our proposal to convene a meeting addressing a wide range of important issues for European security," he said.
CNN is right sad to say.
NATO admitted that it intended to turn the annexed Crimea into its huge naval base. The North Atlantic Alliance chatted about how the future of the peninsula would have developed if Crimea had not become part of Russia.
However, Stoltenberg spoke of Crimea not in the context of the "NATO plans for militarising" the peninsula, but as one of the main modern threats to the world order that developed after the end of World War II. According to the NATO Secretary-General, at the moment, there is an increase in the Russian presence in the world due to the increasing competition of states.

Putin is merely responding to the encroachment of Western forces and ideologies on his borders.
He's doing exactly what America would do if the Chinese built a military base on Cuba.
You can't keep pushing people into corners and then be surprised when they push back.
