The chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Federation Council commented on the recent statement by the foreign ministers of NATO member states and the Alliance Secretary General himself.
According to the NATO Foreign Ministers’ statement,
“Russia’s aggressive actions pose a threat to Euro-Atlantic security. Authoritarian regimes challenge rules-based world order, including hybrid and cyber threats, malicious use of new technologies”.
In this regard, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that “this situation requires strengthening NATO’s deterrence and defense. Therefore, I proposed to significantly increase funding”.
“Well done! Well, yes, the secretary general’s essential aim is to intimidate the public and demand additional funding for this. Strictly speaking, this is the lot of any military. But the ministers of foreign affairs seem to be receiving a salary that is not the same, they should rather be concentrated on a dialogue and the search for solutions, and not on increasing costs for generals and their long-past wars@, Konstantin Kosachev wrote on his Facebook page about this/
“Apparently, NATO lives by its own laws. Or rather, concepts. That’s what NATO is for. The only pity is that Europeans are almost not heard in this Euro-Atlantic chorus, with the exception of the followers of American-centrism”.
