[Global Network Report] NATO defense ministers signed a plan called "Europe-Atlantic Deterrence and Defense Concept" on the 21st local time.
According to “Russia Today” (RT), NATO defense ministers gave the green light to a new strategy on how to defeat Russia in any potential full-scale conflict. Have an open mind.
According to the report, according to NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg, this NATO plan is part of an effort to "continue to strengthen our alliance with better and modern plans."
EU officials insist that they do not think the attack is imminent, but it is worth preparing for it anyway.
In addition, the combat plan also focuses on unconventional warfare, including the use of nuclear weapons, cyber attacks, and so on.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov slammed this strategy on the 22nd local time, saying that it shows that the relationship with NATO has fallen to the bottom and there is no hope of reversing the relationship.
"In this case, there is no need for dialogue," Peskov said. "NATO's adoption of such a concept once again confirms this."
Peskov believes that "this alliance (NATO) was not established for peace, but was conceived, designed, and created for confrontation."
Prior to the NATO Defense Ministers’ meeting, Russia’s relations with NATO had deteriorated further.
Moscow announced that it will suspend the activities of the Russian Permanent Representative Office in NATO and the NATO Military Liaison Office in Moscow from November 1 in response to NATO’s move to expel Russian diplomats.
NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg expressed regret over Russia's decision, saying that the organization will retain communication channels with Russia.
In this regard, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said on the 21st that she had nothing to talk with Stoltenberg.
When the relationship between NATO and Russia fell to a freezing point, the United States clashed on the side.
According to a report by the Voice of America on the 21st, before participating in the NATO Defense Ministers’ meeting, US Secretary of Defense Austin visited Georgia, Ukraine and Romania to reiterate his support for the anti-Russian stance of these countries and encourage Ukraine to join NATO.
Austin also claimed that Russia is an "obstacle" to the peaceful settlement of the problems in eastern Ukraine, and that third countries have no right to prohibit Kiev from joining NATO.
In this regard, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Rudenko said that Ukraine’s accession to NATO will be an extremely dangerous move, which will force Moscow to respond. Russia has warned NATO about the possible consequences.
