While Ukraine sees the results of the NATO summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius as an important success in the fight against Russia, Moscow accuses the Western military alliance of returning to “Cold War plans”. The West is trying to protect its global hegemony and has made Russia the main target of its aggressive policies, Russia’s foreign ministry said Wednesday.
Ukraine should serve as a battering ram and is therefore presented with empty promises and weapons, but is nothing more than “consumables” for the West, the Foreign Ministry claimed. The West is concerned about protecting its “billion from the rest of humanity” based on the arbitrary division of the world into democracies and autocracies.
Russia will carefully review the outcome of the NATO summit and respond in light of identified threats to the country’s security and interests. “In addition to the measures decided upon, we will continue to strengthen our military organization and the defense system of our country,” it said.
Fighter jets as a “nuclear threat”
In an interview with the lenta.ru news site, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the West of creating a nuclear threat with a possible delivery of modern fighter jets that could potentially carry nuclear weapons. “We will consider the fact of the emergence of such systems in the Ukrainian armed forces as a nuclear threat from the West,” Lavrov said. At the same time, the minister denied that Russia was planning a nuclear attack in Ukraine. The conditions for using such weapons are well known, Lavrov said.
Russia’s nuclear doctrine states that Moscow can only use nuclear weapons in response to two events: either a nuclear attack on Russia, or an attack on Russia with conventional weapons that threatens the country’s very existence.
