The diplomat responded to the conclusion of the EU Council, where the Russian side was presented as a “troublemaker of Europe.” “With its conclusions, the European Union has confirmed its extremely ideologized approach to the new world order. Clearly dictated by the anti-Russian wing, the text is built in a very confrontational manner according to the patterns of the Cold War,” he said.
Zaitsev drew attention to the fact that Western partners do not want to understand the causes of the deteriorating situation and do not accept “the obvious danger of unrestrained expansion of NATO.” “All this is done in violation of the principle of indivisibility and security, fixed at the highest level in the OSCE documents,” he concluded.
Earlier, the diplomat said that, despite the statements of the West, Moscow considers unacceptable even the idea of a military conflict between the peoples of Russia and Ukraine. The representative of the Foreign Ministry pointed out that the West is doing everything to make the invasion scenario come true.
