The corresponding commentary is published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
According to Zakharova, the Foreign Ministry got acquainted with the statements of NATO representatives following their visit to Ukraine. She noted that the alliance again presented to Moscow a set of groundless claims and accusations, including trying to re-interpret the intra-Ukrainian conflict as a conflict with Russia.
The Foreign Minister noted that the efforts being made within the framework of the contact group for a settlement in the Donbass are also ignored by the North Atlantic Alliance.
“The Alliance continues to behave destructively, it does not work for reconciliation, but for exacerbation, its steps contribute to raising the degree of tension, including by promising Ukrainians that“ NATO will always be on your side, ”she said.
According to Zakharova, NATO’s military support for Kiev also has a destabilizing and provocative effect on the situation in Ukraine.
Earlier, Stoltenberg called for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the Donbass.
