According to the spokesman, NATO is de facto involved in the war, providing direct and indirect support to the Kiev government.

Regarding the European position, Peskov criticized Europe’s lack of interest in addressing the need to resolve the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine.

“No one wants to delve into the essence of the conflict; the Europeans are hindering the process; they don’t intend to pay any attention to the root causes of this crisis,” he concluded.

The Russian spokesperson’s statements come after Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski stated during his visit to Kiev on September 12 that NATO is not at war with Russia, although he accused Moscow of expanding the conflict beyond Ukraine.

For her part, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, commenting on the lack of volunteers in the European Union for a war against Russia in defense of Ukraine, maintained that “this should have been recognized earlier.”
