Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said in Minsk, Belarus, that despite NATO¡¯s many promises, the expansion ¡°has not stopped for a moment.¡±

Lavrov said at the third Minsk Eurasian Security Conference held on the same day that Russia did not agree to make the Eurasian continent NATO's "territory of world attack". he said, "NATO's actions violate its highest-level commitment within the framework of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, that it does not strengthen its own security at the expense of the security of other countries, and does not seek regional and even global dominance."

Lavrov said NATO's plans to strengthen activities in the Arctic region are also worrying. He also said that Russia has no intention of attacking Western countries and suggested building an open common security architecture for all Eurasian countries.
