Her statement concerned the meeting of NATO foreign ministers held in the Latvian capital Riga. Zakharova noted that the meeting demonstrated the North Atlantic Alliance's obsession with imaginary threats to the detriment of a joint solution to the real challenges of our time. In particular, this concerned Russia's alleged “aggression” against Ukraine.

“Continued pulling of Kiev into the military orbit of the alliance, NATO's de facto development of this country's military infrastructure, the desire to turn it into a springboard for confrontation with Russia is fraught with serious negative consequences, ”Zakharova said. She stressed that such actions of the alliance destabilize the military-political situation in Europe.

The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman recalled that after the end of the Cold War, NATO promised Russia not to advance jurisdiction and military forces to the East. However, according to Zakharova, these promises were not fulfilled. In this she saw the reason for the allegedly sad state of European security.

“We are convinced that the only option for resolving the current situation is to jointly develop long-term agreements that exclude any further NATO moves eastward,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman concluded. p>
