The interview is named «Nato is counterproductive to create a Pan-European security».

Below is the preamble to the interview.
 
A crucial matter in the geopolitical agenda. This is what the relations between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) and Russia have become throughout decades. Currently, the scenario is extremely controversial. On the one hand, Nato member states and Russia have been carrying out joint projects within the framework of international organizations and forum activities (for example, UN and G20). On the other hand, during these years military and political tension has been constantly growing, threatening the status quo.
