NATO IS AN AGGRESSIVE BLOC, CREATED FOR PURPOSES OF CONFRONTATION: KREMLIN

Tue 28 June 2022:

On Tuesday, Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for the Kremlin, criticized NATO’s plans to boost the number of high-readiness soldiers in Europe to more than 300,000.

“NATO is an aggressive bloc, this is a bloc that was created for purposes of confrontation and it continues to demonstrate its nature and to implement its, set by default, tasks,” Peskov said at a news briefing in Moscow.

The alliance intends to bolster combat groups on its eastern frontiers and expand the number of high-readiness troops from 40,000 to more than 300,000, said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Monday.

He said NATO‘s eastward expansion is a process that has been ongoing for at least two decades.

“And this creeping expansion has its continuation, we are well aware of it,” he said.

Commenting on Ukraine, Peskov said Kyiv can stop the war by the end of the day by ordering soldiers to lay down their arms and accept Russia‘s conditions.

“The Ukrainian side may stop everything by the end of the current day, for that is a necessary order for nationalist units to lay down their arms, an order for the Ukrainian military to lay down their arms, and it is necessary to fulfill the conditions of the Russian Federation. And everything can be over before the end of the day,” said Peskov.

He claimed that although Russia has no specific terms for ending its special military operation, but the set tasks are being implemented and set goals are being achieved.
