Statesman partly responsible for abuse Nato received (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senator

'statesman' is the definition.
(type of politician)

'partly responsible for abuse nato received' is the wordplay.
'partly responsible for' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SENATOR' can be found hidden inside 'abuse nato received'.

(Other definitions for senator that I've seen before include "US representative" , "Member of upper house of legislature" , "Member of the Second House" , "Clinton, perhaps" , "American politician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
