NATO wants to put more troops on Russian borders: Russian envoy

'The meeting in Vilnius demonstrated the bloc's intention to concentrate more and more troops on Russian borders. We have nowhere to retreat,' the envoy said.

The NATO summit in Vilnius showed the alliance's intention to concentrate more troops on the borders of Russia, Russian state agency TASS cited on Wednesday Moscow's Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov as saying.

"The meeting in Vilnius demonstrated the bloc's intention to concentrate more and more troops on Russian borders. We have nowhere to retreat," Antonov told the agency.
