German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius earlier claimed that Russia could attack the US-led military bloc as soon as next year<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russia does not want a conflict with NATO but could be forced to take measures to ensure its security in response to the bloc\u2019s increasingly \u201cmilitaristic\u201d<\/em> rhetoric, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.<\/p>\n

Peskov was commenting on remarks by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who last week told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that Russia could attack a NATO member \u201cas early as 2028\u201d<\/em> or even next year. Pistorius used the claim to press Germany to speed up its militarization drive and overhaul its armed forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis militaristic rhetoric is increasingly heard from European capitals,\u201d<\/em> Peskov told reporters on Monday, stressing that \u201csuch statements do not improve the situation\u201d<\/em> and only escalate tensions.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia does not advocate any confrontation with NATO. But must take measures to ensure our security and interests if forced,\u201d<\/em> he emphasised.<\/p>\n

Western officials, including Pistorius, have long used the threat of allegedly looming Russian aggression to justify military spending spikes such as Brussels\u2019 \u20ac800 billion ReArm Europe plan and NATO members\u2019 pledge to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. Moscow has rejected such claims as \u201cnonsense.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova also addressed Pistorius\u2019 interview and said it leaves \u201cno doubt who the aggressor is,\u201d<\/em> given his push to expand Germany\u2019s military might. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has previously warned that Germany is showing \u201cclear signs of re-Nazification.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow has voiced concern about NATO\u2019s growing activity along Russia\u2019s western borders: the bloc has expanded its presence in Eastern Europe and held frequent drills while calling it deterrence. The Kremlin insists that Russia poses no threat to anyone but will not ignore actions it deems dangerous to its security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
