NATO leaders also approved a new strategic concept to guide the military organization for the next ten years, calling Russia the "biggest and direct threat" to NATO.

In response, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov told the media that day that NATO regards Russia as a strategic security threat, "but this is not true. It is NATO that poses a threat to Russia." Russia condemns NATO's irresponsible policies that undermine the European security architecture. NATO's decision will not affect Russia's policies. Slutsky, chairman of the Russian State Duma's International Affairs Committee, also said that NATO's strategic concept has reached a "dead end" and that the decisions of this NATO summit will endanger the security of Europe and other regions.
