Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharova: NATO allies are to blame for the growth of confrontation in Europe the growth of confrontation in Europe. She wrote in her Telegram channel that NATO allies are to blame for the conflicts.
“Once again, I want to draw your attention to who is actually the culprit of the growth of confrontation in Europe. Not Russia, but the allies in the North Atlantic bloc did everything to recreate the dividing lines on the continent, “Zakharova noted.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman said that it was the alliance that” destroyed key elements of ensuring European security, “such as the Missile Treaty medium and shorter range (INF Treaty) and the Open Skies Treaty (OON). Also, as Zakharova noted, the allies of the alliance devalued dialogue mechanisms with Russia.
“Through the fault of the alliance, the Russia-NATO Council has turned from a platform for consultations, a mechanism for developing joint decisions, and managing cooperation projects into a stage for reading political notations. Unacceptable conditions for the work of Russian diplomats were consistently and purposefully created, “she stressed, adding that the” NATO members “are ready to do anything except substantive consideration of ways to reduce military and political tensions.
Earlier in October, Zakharova said that dialogue between the Kremlin and NATO after the expulsion of Russian diplomats from Brussels is impossible. She also accused the North Atlantic Alliance of burying the NATO-Russia Council with its actions.
