“The creation of a triple alliance of the United States, Britain and Australia (AUKUS – approx. Lenta.ru ) and plans to deploy nuclear submarines off the coast of the Green Continent came as a surprise as for NATO, and for the countries that are members of it, “the diplomat noted.
Zakharova also pointed out that in recent history, it was the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance that became the source of aggression. “NATO’s militarism and imperial manners have led to the emergence of dozens of armed conflicts, the destruction of states, the calamity of civilians, and millions of refugees,” she stressed, commenting on statements by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg about Russia's desire to use force against its neighbors.
