The Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, stated that the United States and its allies aim to become the "world police," insisting that everyone follow the rules devised in Washington. NATO policies have their consequences," he added.

Many pieces of information provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.

The summit in Washington showed that NATO has irreversibly embarked on a path of confrontation and material preparation for war. The United States and its allies are mobilizing maximum resources to maintain their waning dominance, said the Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, whose words are quoted by TASS.

Antonov argued, "Russia is once again being identified as the main threat." "NATO policies, which refuse serious negotiations with our country, have their consequences," he stated forcefully.

He also said, "The United States does not want to seek compromises." "They demand that we humbly agree to the alliance's military machine moving east," he added.

NATO summit

- Today, we send a strong message of unity to Moscow that violence and intimidation do not pay - said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday, during a press conference summarizing the concluding NATO summit in Washington.

The outgoing Secretary-General of the Alliance listed a long array of decisions announced during the summit to support Ukraine: strengthening its air defences with dozens of air defence systems, a declaration to allocate at least 54 billion Canadian dollars for military aid over the next year, the establishment of NATO command in Wiesbaden, which will take over from the USA in coordinating the delivery of equipment and training to Ukraine, the creation of the NATO-Ukraine Analysis, Training, and Education Centre in Bydgoszcz, and a declaration to increase defence industry production. Stoltenberg also reiterated the assurance in the summit's declaration that Ukraine's path to NATO is "irreversible."
