NATO is undermining the security of Europe and the entire world, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a weekend public relations new media workshop. According to her, the alliance has been drawing resources that can be used for the common good for decades.
This is how the diplomat referred to the statement of German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz, who previously claimed that there is no need to discuss a new European security architecture with Russia, as it already exists in the form of NATO. Zakharova emphasized that without the alliance and the role it plays, security in Europe could be much higher.
Among the alliance's tools are coups, color revolutions, economic expansion and more. As an alternative approach, Zakharova mentioned the OSCE, which was created as a platform for dialogue between countries, where it is possible not only to discuss common threats, but also to jointly search for solutions to security problems. Unfortunately, later, the OSCE institutions deteriorated and neither in 2014 nor in 2022 fulfilled the mission for which they were once created.
