<b>Russia for new bloc against US </b>
31 March 2004: Angered by NATOâs decision to admit seven countries as new members, Russia has proposed an anti-US bloc to twenty-eight countries, but America and the UK have disdainfully said it will fail.
On Monday, in a <b>White-House ceremony, US President George Bush welcomed prime ministers of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia to NATO, and an angry Russia retaliated, saying it could no more be expected to honour past agreements on arms control, the war against terror, and against WMD proliferation.</b>
Estonia and Latvia border Russia, while Lithuania abuts Moscowâs Kaliningrad enclave, and Russia has taken serious objection to NATO plans to patrol their airspace.
Since the seven East-European countries joined NATO, <b>the Russian foreign ministry has made contact with twenty-eight countries, including India, China, France, Germany, the ASEAN states, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, stressing on the need to create a multipolar world against 'American hegemony'</b>.
Russia has stressed that these countries must agree on a minimum political-military charter, gain the recognition of the UN, and then create a peacekeeping and anti-terrorism force.
While the United States and NATO have separately clarified that Russiaâs security wonât be affected by the new memberships, Russia is not convinced, and believes this is another American attempt to encircle it.
Diplomats would not say how the twenty-eight contacted countries have responded, but Russia would be satisfied even if it can create churning for the moment against the US.
