Commenting on the results of the NATO summit in London, she noted that instead of finding answers to real problems, the “Russian threat” is again coming to the fore.
According to her, the alliance continues the line of increasing the degree of tension and dominance in all operational areas - on land, in water, air, cyberspace and space.
“The Allies took the visor in response to American demands for higher military spending. I’ll remind you that they already make up more than half of the global total and more than 20 times exceed the Russian ones, ”Zakharova said.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced an increase in the total defense spending of the bloc members by $ 130 billion in 2020 and $ 400 billion in 2024 compared to 2016.
The Kremlin responded by saying that Moscow did not intend to participate in the arms spending race, which would be detrimental to the economy.
