Presidential Press Secretary Russia Dmitry Peskov said that NATO's strategy to limit the Russian Federation only confirms the correctness of Moscow's decision to end the official dialogue.
“It is simply not necessary, the dialogue in such conditions and the NATO concept confirms it.” He stressed. He also noted that the Kremlin had no illusions about an alliance that was not created for peace but for confrontation. Peskov also pointed out that Russia is constantly taking measures to protect its interests.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg admitted that the Alliance had increased its presence in the Black Sea region. He also pointed out that, according to him, this happened in connection with Russia's allegedly aggressive actions.
And NATO representatives are also studying the possibility of rapidly moving troops to the Black Sea region. If necessary, it is considered strategic in the block. Stoltenberg said the territories include three countries that are part of the alliance: Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria.
