The Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, has stated that the United States and its allies want to assume the role of the "world police," demanding that everyone adhere to rules invented in Washington. "NATO policies have their consequences," he added.
Many pieces of information provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.
The summit in Washington showed that NATO has irreversibly embarked on a path of confrontation and material preparation for war. The United States and its allies are mobilizing maximum resources to maintain their collapsing hegemony, said the Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, whose words were quoted by TASS.
Antonov argued that "Russia is once again being identified as the main threat." "NATO policies, which refuse serious negotiations with our country, have their consequences," he thundered.
He also assessed that "the United States does not want to seek compromises." "They demand that we humbly agree to the alliance's military machine moving east," he added.
NATO summit
"Today, we send a strong message of unity to Moscow that violence and intimidation do not pay," said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday during a press conference summarizing the NATO summit in Washington.
The outgoing Secretary General of the Alliance listed a long array of decisions announced during the summit to support Ukraine: strengthening its air defenses with dozens of air defense systems, a declaration to allocate at least $40 billion for military aid over the next year, the establishment of NATO command in Wiesbaden, which will take over from the USA in coordinating the delivery of equipment and training to Ukraine, the creation of the NATO-Ukraine Analysis, Training, and Education Center in Bydgoszcz, and a declaration to increase defense industry production. Stoltenberg also reiterated the assurance contained in the summit's declaration that Ukraine's path to NATO is "irreversible."
