Kwiatkovsky said: NATO is unable to defend European countries because most of its defense forces have been sent to Ukraine and have been destroyed so far.

Regarding NATO’s statement, he added: “It is an administrative and organizational document that is more suitable for the complicity of the pyramid of American weapons manufacturers than it is a practical instruction for the future of NATO.” At the same time, this document is a warning to the rest of the world that this military coalition knows no bounds in its territorial ambitions, and with the current level of defense spending, it is a threat to global peace and stability, trade in the Black Sea and Pacific regions.
