(MNI) London - Russian state media carrying comments from Kremlin spox Dmitry Peskov regarding the NATO summit and the war in Ukraine. Peskov claims that Russia sees NATO military infrastructure approaching the borders of the Russian Federation, that NATO 'wants to suppress Russia', that 'it is a very serious national security threat', and that Russia will have to respond to such actions. Says that NATO is 'fully involved' in the war in Ukraine, claiming " it's time to call a spade a spade"
- Following the adoption of a final declaration at the ongoing NATO summit, Peskov says "We see that our opponents in Europe and the United States are not supporters of dialogue. Judging by the documents adopted at the NATO summit, they are not supporters of peace [...] the North Atlantic Alliance is an instrument of confrontation, not a security measure."
- The NATO declaration used its strongest language to-date in condemning China as allegedly a “decisive enabler” of Russia in conducting its invasion of Ukraine. The declaration says “We urge all countries not to provide any kind of assistance to Russia’s aggression. We condemn all those who are facilitating and thereby prolonging Russia’s war in Ukraine,”
- Liu Pengyu at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., said in an emailed statement that “China does not provide weapons to the parties to the conflict and strictly controls the export of dual-use articles.”
