• NATO Engaged in ‘Proxy War’ Against Russia in Ukraine, Moscow Says

  NATO countries have been regularly supplying weapons to Ukraine since before the start of Russia’s special operation, although Moscow has repeatedly warned that this would result in more casualties.

  NATO has been engaging in a “proxy” war against Russia in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. She stressed that the alliance has been “strengthening the Kiev regime’s belief that its war crimes and cruelty towards civilians all across Ukraine will be left unpunished”.

  “It is becoming more evident that, although dismissing its direct participation in the conflict, NATO is practically fighting against Russia on Ukraine’s side and by using Ukraine’s people”, Zakharova said in a statement published on the ministry’s website.

  The spokeswoman added that by sending more and more weapons to Ukraine, NATO contributes to the prolongation of the conflict. The US and its NATO allies have already provided Ukraine with some 25,000 anti-aircraft systems, and Washington is considering a new arms package for Kiev, US Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently said. He added that Ukraine has already received 60,000 anti-tank systems. The EU has also joined the list of arms suppliers to Ukraine, having agreed upon a package of military aid worth $1.1 billion.
