Lord Astor of Hever
My Lords, the Russian ambassador committed to giving a full explanation in writing of that long-range bomber activity.
Lord Soley (Lab)
My Lords, is not the problem for Russia and the former Soviet Union that there is now growing instability? As the Minister said, this is clearly a matter for NATO and the UK, but it is also for the European Union to have some sort of strategy towards Mr Putin’s policy, which is in acute danger of causing either another cold war or something worse.
Lord Astor of Hever
My Lords, the noble Lord has made a very good point, and these are all issues which will be discussed at the NATO Defence Ministers meeting being held in Brussels today.
