Lavrov says NATO spending increase won't significantly affect Russia's security

MOSCOW (Reuters) -NATO's decision to increase defence spending will not significantly affect Russia's security, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday. NATO allies on Wednesday agreed to raise their collective spending goal to 5% of gross domestic product over the next decade, citing what they called the long-term threat posed by Russia and the need to strengthen civil and military resilience. "As for the impact of this 5% goal on our security, I don't think it will be significant," Lavrov told a press conference.
