Maria Zakharova: "This is a False Flag War."

Maria Zakharova: "This is a False Flag War." | Question: The results of the NATO summit held in Vilnius on July 11-12 once again demonstrated that the alliance, in which the Anglo-Saxons play the main fiddle, makes decisions aimed, in fact, at sponsoring terrorism in the region. One gets the impression that the supply of prohibited weapons by the member countries of the alliance to the Kyiv regime is aimed at preparing for war with Russia. Do you agree with these statements?

Maria Zakharova: In fact, NATO is already waging a hybrid war with Russia, the instrument of which is the Kiev regime. It is pumped up with weapons, military equipment. The countries of the alliance are actively involved in the training of militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine according to their standards, they plan to train and then transplant Ukrainians to Western fighters. All this is complemented by economic blackmail and illegal sanctions against both Russia and other countries that have not caved in to the Anglo-Saxons. It is no secret that the states of the North Atlantic bloc share intelligence with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, take part in the planning of military operations. At the same time, formally, NATO stands aside. Declares that he is not a party to the conflict and does not seek confrontation with Russia. Actually, this is a false flag war. In pursuit of an attempt to maintain some kind of superiority, and, in fact, neocolonialism, Washington and its allies consistently use the population of Ukraine as cannon fodder. They are methodically working to destroy the economies of European states in order to eliminate them as competitors in world markets. At the same time, they are solving the problems of enriching American companies and enterprises, including the military-industrial complex, whose products will be purchased by Europeans.

We categorically reject the logic of the Westerners, which is that military assistance to Ukraine is designed to bring a political and diplomatic settlement closer. They are simply not interested in the end of hostilities, but, on the contrary, benefit from the ongoing crisis of the security system in the European space. The main goal of Washington and its satellites is to inflict a "strategic defeat" on Russia and maintain its dominant influence in the international arena. For the sake of it, they are ready with all their might to seek from the puppet regime of Zelensky the continuation of the "war to the last Ukrainian." One gets the impression that at the NATO summit a decision was made and even declared - to unfold a major European war.

However, no supply of Western weapons and equipment can change the course of the special military operation, the goals and objectives of which will certainly be fulfilled, as the Russian leadership has repeatedly stated. [Original in Russian]
