　　Subsequent disclosures, however, that Nato had secretly prepared a plan in case Russia invaded its Baltic neighbours have left the Kremlin smarting. Today Russias foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said Nato had to explain why it privately considered Russia an enemy while publicly describing it warmly as a strategic partner and ally.

　　Nato should make clear its position on WikiLeaks cables published by the Guardian alleging that the alliance had devised plans to defend Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia against Russia, Lavrov said.

　　With one hand, Nato seeks agreement with us on joint partnership, and with the other, it makes a decision that it needs to defend. So when is Nato more sincere? Lavrov asked today. We have asked these questions and are expecting answers to them. We think we are entitled to that.

　　Lavrov said his attitude towards the leaked US state department cables was philosophical. It is interesting to read, including what ambassadors write to provide a stream of information to their capitals, he admitted.

　　Dmitry Rogozin, Russias hardline ultra-nationalist ambassador to Nato, also today voiced his support for the embattled Assange. He tweeted that Assanges arrest and incarceration on Monday at the City of Westminster magistrates court demonstrated that there was no media freedom in the west. Assanges fate amounted to political persecution and a lack of human rights, the ambassador said.
