Even though NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is fractured thanks to United States President Donald Trump’s tariff threat over his desire to take over Greenland, Russia claims that it’s preparing for a war. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that recent comments made by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg suggest that a military conflict between the bloc and Russia is in preparation.
EU Claims It Has A “Trade Bazooka” Ready To Fire If Clash Over Greenland Continues
Lavrov made this speculation while speaking at a press conference on the results of Russian diplomatic activities in 2025. He suggested that some remarks made by the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, and other politicians, such as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the leaders of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, should be considered. “They are seriously preparing for war against the Russian Federation, and, in fact, are not even hiding it.”
The foreign minister added that while Russia is determined to “eliminate the root causes” of the Ukraine conflict, it is the West that has been “deliberately creating” these issues for many years in an effort to turn Ukraine into a “threat to Russia’s security.”
He noted that although the goal of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Moscow is not expressed by Western leaders as often these days, their actions suggest that the idea is still alive in their “minds and plans,” pointing to the continued support of the “openly Nazi regime” in Kiev and its course for the “legislative and physical extermination of everything Russian.” -RT
