Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary, believes that NATO is creating a hotbed of instability in Europe
He said that although the bloc was originally supposed to exist to consolidate peace and security, it is failing in this task. Moreover, it is not even facing it.
“It is a bloc which was created for confrontation, for confrontation… These are the functions which it continues to fulfil, for it is not sharpened for anything else. It does not bring any stability to the continent. On the contrary, it is a destabilizing element.”
Russia strives for normal relations with the alliance countries, and the same cannot be said of it. At the same time, the representative of the Russian leader said that only a dialogue is possible to achieve results. NATO is trying to impose its point of view on Moscow, and it will not accept the other point of view.
A separate problem has now become the “Young Europeans”:
“Well, look, let’s take the Baltic states. These are the countries that are hosting US fighter jets, who are actually doing everything possible to get foreign troops there, to bring them closer to our borders, these are the countries that say every day that they see Russia as a danger and feel this danger directly on their own skin”.
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov spoke out on the subject of relations between Moscow and Washington. He noted that Russia was ready to do everything possible to strengthen them.
