Former Deputy Foreign Minister and New Zealand Minister for Disarmament and Arms Control Matt Robson said NATO has always wanted to encircle Russia, which is now fighting back against the alliance.

Russia stopped Napoleon, suffered a revolution, the Second World War. Now NATO is trying to squeeze it within its borders, look at Yugoslavia"

Matt Robson also stressed that Washington is sponsoring the conflict in Ukraine. In addition, the United States, according to him, deploys military bases in different countries, but at the same time calls Russia and China aggressors.

“People around the world have lost their understanding of what Russia and China are. It is nonsense to say that they are the main world aggressors,” he said.

The diplomat stressed that the United States has extended its military influence around the world.
