It will not work to establish a relationship: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation does not exclude war against NATO

According to the Russian diplomat Sergey Ryabkov, now everything is dependent on the Alliance's actions. The Kremlin will continue to defend its "national interests" and is ready for confrontation. The war between the Russian Federation and NATO is not excluded, but it all allegedly depends on the further actions of the Alliance. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Ryabkov in an interview with Izvestia.

According to him, to establish the Kremlin's relations with the Alliance is unlikely to succeed, so no one can guarantee that in the future it will not develop into an armed conflict. "A completely and completely choice on the side of NATO. We are ready, as it was already demonstrated, to protect our national interests with all the means available at our disposal," - said Sergei Ryabkov.

Separately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that if in the West think that the Kremlin needs a close relationship with NATO and will ever ask for recovery, then it is an alleged misconception. The so -called "infinite encroachment" on Russia, which was stated by Sergei Ryabkov, continues the path of "endless escalation", which is allegedly dangerous.

"We were ready to negotiate only on an equal and mutual basis, with which there were always problems with the North Atlantic Alliance and its Member States. And now, amid what is happening, I do not imagine the situation and context in which it is possible. People who continue to test us for strength have apparently believed that their own "gambling", there is no game of raising rates. But they can be among those who lost, " - summed up the Russian diplomat.
