“Now you are starting to jitter and toss, because your actions to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia or at least weaken it did not bring the desired result. Do you realize that with your irresponsible rhetoric you are raising the stakes and risk moving the conflict into a new acute and unpredictable phase? Are you ready to fight with Russia in your countries and does the general European public understand the consequences of your actions? Perhaps the time has come to think about the consequences of your irresponsible actions and words for European and regional security? - said the Russian diplomat.

On March 22, Vasily Nebenzya called the speeches of Western countries crazy when talking about a direct clash between Russia and NATO. The diplomat advised the French and Germans not to forget the lessons of history, so as not to bite their elbows later.

For example, the head of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, said that the alliance is ready for a conflict with Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, noted that Russia has no interest in a conflict with Poland, Latvia and other European countries.
