NATO's anti-Russian campaign serves purpose of financing growing expenses of its own - Russian Foreign Ministry
MOSCOW. May 16 (Interfax) - NATO cannot make a substantial contribution to the fight against terrorism and only the anti-Russian campaign makes it possible for the alliance to secure the defense expenditure increase, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
"It leaves no doubt that amid the apparent NATO's incapability of making any sizable contribution to counteracting against such real challenges of modern times as terrorism, only whipping up the spiral of the anti-Russian campaign makes it possible for the alliance to obtain an increase of defense expenses from its member states and somehow stay afloat," the ministry's press service said in a commentary posted on its official website on Monday.
"Despite such an intense indoctrination of public opinion in the West, it becomes evermore evident that healthy forces in Europe are not ready to be slavishly tied to the chariot of the aggressive NATO minority, and their curators on the other side of the Atlantic, who are trying to use the artificially provoked crisis in pursuit of their purely selfish objectives," the ministry said.
