Medvedev called the West's attempts to expand NATO a preparation for war

“I well remember the meeting of the Russia-NATO Council at the highest level in Lisbon in 2010, in which I participated as President of Russia.

The members of the alliance assured us then that we did not pose a threat to each other and were ready to work together for the common security of the Euro-Atlantic area.

The expansion of NATO to the East and preparations for confrontation, in fact - for war with Russia - did not stop for a minute.

Endless muddy streams of cynical lies, ”the material says.

He noted that at the moment it is already obvious that "in the relationship of independent and sovereign states with the Anglo-Saxon world in the current configuration, even there can be no talk of trust." 

“Unfortunately, we now have no one to talk and negotiate with in the West, about nothing, and there is no need,” Medvedev wrote.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the West had sought to divide Russia for centuries.
