TODAY: Russia promises a response if Ukraine and Georgia enter NATO, helps Mongolia go nuclear, making deals on grain, Kosovo is worries about Ban Ki-Moon, and a major court decision limited property seizures. The Russian Army’s chief of staff Yuri Baluyevsky said on Friday that the country “will take steps aimed at ensuring its interests along its borders … These will not only be military steps, but also steps of a different nature,” if Ukraine and Georgia are allowed to join NATO. Baluyevsky’s comments follow upon similar statements from Sergei Lavrov and Vladimir Putin, who have promised to aim Russia’s missiles at the Ukraine if NATO military installations were ever built there. On the same day, the head of Russia’s Air Force announced an overhaul to boost the country’s air defenses.
