“The West, with such statements, masks its own plans when carrying out aggression against the Russian Federation.

That is, it’s time to blame the alliance itself for what Russia is accused of,” the political scientist said.

The West is acting from the position of aggressive pressure on Moscow, spreading fakes about the “mythical Russian invasion” and the non-existent “military aggression” of Russia, the expert believes.

“This is done to weaken Russia... Unfortunately, NATO does not understand that such a policy is counterproductive,” Mezyuho stressed.

Earlier, Stoltenberg promised to "continue to denounce Russia's aggressive plans."
