Russia does not threaten anyone and does not plan to attack," Ryabkov said.
Additional statements by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation:
- If we are pushed to aggression, we are forced to take retaliatory measures. Europe is preparing for war, and if it decides to start it, we will be ready.
- Russia records an increase in NATO's hostile activity in the Baltic region. Obstacles are being created in the way of Russian shipping, which is a violation of international norms.
- Western countries are trying to prolong the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and are preparing for a possible conflict with Russia.
"We are aware of the intentions of our opponents for a blockade and other destructive measures against the Kaliningrad region. No one should doubt that attempts to implement them will lead to disaster.
