“To say that we are trying to attack someone is completely stupid. This suggests that they (NATO. -

) are trying to fool their own people and justify their behavior in the political arena,” he said.

According to the senator, Russia knows how to defend itself.

“I think we have overestimated the situation with our relations with NATO in recent years. We realized that this bloc is hostile to us and its main goal is the destruction of Russia. We are against this, so we will strengthen and strengthen. But, I repeat, Russia does not need any foreign territories, meaning NATO countries,” Dzhabarov concluded.

Earlier, the Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, General Wieslaw Kukula, said that Russia was allegedly preparing for a conflict with NATO.

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. At the same time, sending regular troops of other countries to Ukraine will put the world on the brink of a global conflict, the head of state warned.
