To achieve this goal, it is necessary to “create a monster” that threatens Europe, and Russia is perfectly suited for this role, the spokesman declared, referring to the NATO bloc’s major meeting, which will be taking place from June 24 to 25 in The Hague, Netherlands.

“The fact is that the summit begins today. Let’s call things by their name: this is an alliance created for confrontation, it is an alliance that brings aggression and confrontation. It is not an instrument of peace and stability. It is important to keep this in mind,” Peskov emphasized.

And now, this same instrument, this alliance, has as its main task, one of its main tasks, to make a decision on increasing spending to five percent of the member countries’ GDP, he stated.

“And given that such a decision must be made, what needs to be done to achieve this? To do so, you have to paint a picture of a monster, a spawn of hell. And from the perspective of these NATO officials, naturally, our country best fits the role of monster,” the spokesperson added.
