Letter: Insult to Russia

Sir: We should be told who it was that allowed publication in the media of a map of Kosovo divided between the major Nato powers, an almost unbelievable insult to Russia, a major power whose aid was vital in securing the cessation of hostilities. Under the circumstances, I find the Russians' subsequent actions understandable.

If it never occurred to Nato planners that Russia could move forces swiftly from Bosnia to Kosovo, then military intelligence is, indeed, an oxymoron.

TERRY HART-JONES
