Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves said his country wants NATO to set up permanent bases on its territory to protect it against potential threats from Russia.
“NATO structure should not imply the division of its members into the first and second class states: those that have the alliance’s permanent bases, and those that don’t,” Ilves said at a news conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg in the Norwegian capital on Tuesday, Itar-Tass reports.
“This is not the signal the potential aggressor should receive from us,” he added.
At the September 4-5 summit in Wales, NATO is expected to unveil plans for the expansion of its military infrastructure near Russia's borders.
