The Kremlin stated Tuesday that it will closely follow the NATO summit in Ankara, expressing regret over what it described as confrontational statements about Russia made ahead of the gathering, according to an N12 report.
The Kremlin's statement came as the NATO summit in Ankara, scheduled for this week, approaches. In the days leading up to the summit, as The Zioneer reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged NATO allies to commit more interceptor missiles, and a senior U.S. official hinted at billions of dollars in announcements on the sidelines. The Kremlin's acknowledgment of 'confrontational statements' reflects heightened tensions between Russia and the alliance ahead of the gathering.
