Russia will take action if Sweden joins NATO

Sergei Lavrov stated that Russia would respond with military-technical measures on its northern borders if Sweden decides to join NATO.

"Since the Swedish military infrastructure in that situation would have to obey the High Command of NATO, of course, we are on our northern borders we will have to take the necessary military and technical measures, based on the fact that on the other side of the border is a military-political bloc, which thinks of Russian as threat and wants to restrain Russia in every possible way  ", - said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
