We called on NATO countries to fulfill their promises, to stop expanding to the east. But in response, we saw only the acceleration of the militarization of states near our borders and the hypocritical assertions that all this does not threaten Russia with anything. Now the most important thing is to demilitarize Ukraine, pumped up with Western weapons, protect people, stop violence in the southeast and establish peace,” Pavel Zavalny said.
