"Russia Criticizes NATO's Return to Cold War Mindset on 75th Anniversary"

Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that NATO has reverted to a Cold War mentality as the alliance celebrates its 75th anniversary, asserting that NATO has no place in the multipolar world Russia seeks to establish. President Vladimir Putin's military operation in Ukraine aimed to prevent NATO expansion, but has instead strengthened the alliance. NATO foreign ministers are discussing proposals to coordinate arms supply to Ukraine, while Western governments view their support as crucial for Ukraine's survival. Zakharova criticized NATO's history of aggressive actions and wars, stating that the alliance's anniversary is not a cause for celebration.
