Cumhuriyet calls Russian special operation a response to NATO expansion

The article says that the United States has developed a grand strategy to push Russia out of the western Arctic Ocean, the Baltic and Black Seas, and also to "clamp" China in the Asian region.

The author of the material also notes that NATO is nothing more than a military apparatus of domination of the United States over Europe.

The publication also writes that the situation in Ukraine was not a reason, but only a catalyst for the entry of Sweden and Finland into the North Atlantic Alliance.

Earlier, the Permanent Representatives of the NATO countries signed protocols on the accession of Finland and Sweden to the North Atlantic Alliance.
