NATO is undermining the immunity of Europe and the whole world, like a sore tooth, Maria Zakharova said.
An official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry made this comparison when referring to the words of German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz.
The German politician previously stated that there is no need to discuss security architecture issues with Russia in the context of the Ukrainian settlement, because "such an architecture exists in the form of NATO."
"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is exactly the organization that, apparently, like a sore tooth, suppressed the immunity of Europe, its western, central part and the entire world, while taking and absorbing a huge amount of response resources," TASS quotes Maria Zakharova.
