“We regret it,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the TASS agency. “That, Definitely, it will not give anyone more security, but will create new ways of subordinating sovereign states,” said Riabkov, alluding to the United States, “the hegemonic leader of NATO.”

However, he assured that Moscow does not plan to review its ties with Buenos Aires as a result of the new circumstances. “I don't think that due to the announcement that Argentina seeks to obtain the status (of global partner of the Atlantic Alliance) we have to reconsider and change our entire agenda,” she said.
