Briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, Moscow, October 2, 2024.

Question: On October 1 of this year, the new NATO Secretary General M. Rutte took office. Does the Russian Foreign Ministry expect any changes in the alliance's position towards dialogue with Russia in this regard?

Answer: In this case, this is simply a rearrangement of the "components" of Western aggressive philosophy. Little depends on the position of the NATO Secretary General. He is surrounded (as has traditionally been the case) or, one might even say, "surrounded" by deputies who represent the United States and Britain. Either way, he is in a tight "ring". All decisions made by the alliance are not developed by him. He only voices them and is engaged in some kind of activity under the cover of the Organization on behalf of (again, Washington), talking about some kind of NATO solidarity.

As for M. Rutte, as Prime Minister of the Netherlands, he proved his ardent commitment to the camp of Atlanticists and Russophobes. I think this is precisely why he deserved the position of Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance. "Reliable" Russophobe. There is no doubt that he will continue to follow his anti-Russian approaches in his new position. Even more anti-Russian rhetoric should be expected. There will be no constructive action.

The doctrinal documents of the alliance indicate that all activities of the alliance now and in the long term are aimed at confrontation with Russia. The bloc is building up military potential near the Russian borders, practicing scenarios for striking our territory. It is using the Kiev regime to inflict on us, as they formulate it, a "strategic defeat".

We do not see any dialogue or search for solutions to resolve crisis situations on the part of NATO, and we will not see any prospects.
