EU military capabilities deterrent for Moscow-Mattarella

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 11 - EU military capabilities are the sole deterrent for Moscow, President Sergio Mattarella said Friday.
    "In Russia's opinion, the European Union would not be an insurmountable obstacle. What can dissuade it? The deterrent is a Union with adequate military capabilities that only a true common Defense can ensure," he said at a summit of the Arraiolos Group in Krakow.
    "At the same time, we must ensure a strong maintenance of the Atlantic Alliance, because, in full complementarity, NATO would be strengthened". (ANSA).
