NATO summit signals western resolve, Russia decries hegemony
The Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, stated that the United States and its allies aspire to become the 'world police,' demanding that everyone adhere to the rules devised in Washington. "The Washington summit showed that NATO has irrevocably embarked on the path of confrontation and material preparation for war," he added.
Many pieces of information provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the Russian Federation's information war.
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 mobilising maximum resources to maintain crumbling hegemony, said the Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, whose words are quoted by TASS.
Antonov argued that "Russia has again been named as the primary threat. NATO's policy of refusing serious negotiations with our country has been confirmed." He added that NATO conutries "embarked the path of confrontation and material preparation for war."
He also said, "The United States does not want to seek compromises and demands that we meekly agree with the movement of the alliance's military machine to the east."
NATO summit
- Today, we send a strong message of unity to Moscow that violence and intimidation do not pay and that Ukraine can count on NATO now and for the long haul - said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday during a press conference summarising the concluding 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 defences with dozens of air defence systems, a declaration to allocate at least 31 billion pounds 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 Centre in Bydgoszcz, and a declaration to increase defence industry production. Stoltenberg also reiterated the assurance in the summit's declaration that Ukraine's path to NATO is "irreversible."
