Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov has sharply criticized NATO following the recent North Atlantic Alliance summit in Washington, accusing member states of advancing irreversible confrontation and war preparations.
Demonstrated NATO's Irreversible Path
Digi24 writes that according to Antonov, NATO's actions have led to the destruction of states, war crimes, rampant extremism, and mass civilian casualties.
Antonov's comments, shared via the Russian Embassy's Telegram channel and reported by TASS, highlight Russia's growing concerns over NATO's aggressive stance. He emphasized that NATO, led by the United States and its allies, is intensifying efforts to maintain hegemony despite global instability.
"The Washington summit has demonstrated NATO's irreversible path towards confrontation and material preparation for war. The US and its satellites are mobilizing maximum resources to preserve their collapsing hegemony," Antonov stated.
NATO Brands Russia as the Primary Threat
He further criticized NATO for branding Russia as the primary threat and for refusing serious negotiations. "The US does not seek compromises and demands our resignation to NATO's eastward military expansion," Antonov added, accusing NATO of attempting to enforce Western-dictated rules globally.
Antonov underscored Russia's commitment to multipolarity based on international law and equal security principles, opposing what he termed NATO's neocolonial policies.
"Peace in Ukraine is viewed through the lens of Russia's strategic defeat. It's time to abandon illusory 'castles' and understand that the Russian Federation has been, is, and will be," Antonov asserted, rejecting NATO's demonization of Russia and its policies.
