ANSWERS:
Question 1. What are the main contradictions of European integration in the light of geopolitics?
The negative attitude to the expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance to the East is justified by specific reasons.
First, the NATO admission of the Baltic countries militarily greatly affected the defense interests of Russia and Belarus: from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, it is within easy reach of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk and other vital centers.
Secondly, the deepening of the split in Europe intensified, and the military-political might increased due to the countries of the Baltic and Eastern Europe. The Alliance remained a closed organization with geostrategic plans that are inaccessible to small states, although formally members of NATO.
Thirdly, the significance of the Founding Act of Russia-NATO is significantly undermined, in which Russia clearly expressed its concern over the expansion of the alliance.
Hence the fourth point of contradiction: Russia will have to take measures to strengthen the military infrastructure, defense capability.
