Iran Press/ Europe: "By creating the North Atlantic Alliance’s mechanisms that serve its own needs, the United States has effectively occupied Europe," Nikolay Patrushev said.
"European officials, who found themselves in a hopeless situation, have turned the Old World into an economic base for US experiments. They continue to obediently fulfill NATO’s military objectives."
In Patrushev’s words, NATO command under the leadership of the Pentagon is engaged in direct contact with arms makers, "simply ignoring the official authorities of other countries."
The Russian security official also said that NATO expansion allows Washington to gain control over additional territories in Eastern Europe.
In this regard, the procedure of admitting new members speaks for itself, he continued, as the protocol "stipulates an oath of allegiance to the master through the submission of ratification documents to none other than the government of the United States."
US needs Ukraine's resources
The United States is set to use Ukraine only as a territory providing certain resources, and has no interest in preserving its statehood, Russian Nikolay Patrushev said.
"The Americans need Ukraine only for mercilessly exploiting its natural resources without the traditional population. By pursuing this neo-Nazi-style policy, Washington has already turned it into a territory, whose population is fleeing in millions, in an attempt to shelter abroad from social and economic problems, and from pro-Nazi repressions," the official said.
In his words, the country’s population halved as a result of "the 30 years of turbulence, which Washington organized for Ukraine."
"Today, the White House easily agrees to continue the conflict with Russia until the last Ukrainian. At the same time, preserving its statehood is not among Washington’s plans," Patrushev added.
