Today Russia poses the biggest threat to world security, Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz said after a Wednesday NATO defence ministers' conference in Brussels.

"I concur with the opinion that Russia is really a country with a completely different structure than countries of Western civilisation, a country ... with a deep belief that no norms developed outside its territory are binding for Russia itself", Minister Macierewicz said replying to questions during a debate.

Not everyone understands this otherness of Russia, Poland's defence minister remarked. Russia "today is the biggest threat to world security", Macierewicz said. (PAP)
