Kremlin-NATO Trying To Make Involvement In Ukraine Conflict Ever Clearer

RUSSIA

Wires carrying comments from Kremlin spox Dmitri Peskov regarding the war in Ukraine. States that 'NATO is an organisation that is hostile to us and proves its hostility every day'. Adds that 'NATO is trying to make its involvement in Ukraine conflict ever clearer.'

  • Peskov's comments come as NATO defence ministers meet in Brussels to discuss the state of the war and what further support can be provided to Kyiv.
  • Comments from Russian officials talking about NATO proximity to the conflict have become more frequent in recent months. This in turn raises the (albeit slim) risk of direct Russia-NATO conflict.
