NATO intends to quickly prepare resources for war with Russia, said Sergei Naryshkin, director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Security and Special Services of the CIS Member States, held in Samarkand.

„Of course, we see how the European NATO allies are preparing for war with our country. The task has been set to quickly provide all the necessary resources to the Allied Rapid Reaction Forces designated for this purpose. The process of significantly increasing the production of the European military-industrial complex has begun. Mobilization exercises and propaganda indoctrination about the inevitable aggression from Moscow have become a regular practice“, said his speech, summarized by RIA Novosti.

Naryshkin emphasized that restraint, the ability to compromise and responsibility are now needed to avoid a new global armed conflict. However, these qualities have been preserved in the East, while the West has almost lost them, the head of the intelligence service believes.

At the same time, according to him, the European NATO member states do not have long-term plans for maintaining the security of the continent. “The only tool that Macron and Merz, raised by the structures of Alexander Soros, are ready to offer to European nations, not to mention all the “Kallas“, is Russophobia and the accelerated accumulation of European military potential with a view to a large-scale armed conflict with Russia“, the director of the intelligence service added.
