Russia is taking 'appropriate' measures in response to the possible accession of Sweden and Ukraine to NATO, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today.
Lavrov said Russia would protect its own 'legitimate security interests' as world leaders met in Vilnius, Lithuania for the first day of a NATO summit.
The summit is expected to send a 'positive' message about Ukraine's hopes of one day joining the alliance, as Sweden makes progress after months of deliberation.
