NATO is building up its military potential with an eye toward preparing for a conflict with Russia, Russian Ambassador to Belgium Alexander Tokovinin said in an interview with Sputnik.
"In addition, this is about building up defense production, promoting the military industry of NATO countries, including in Europe, further increasing military spending, and intensifying maneuvers. All this is being done with an eye toward preparing for a conflict with Russia. Unfortunately, this is exactly how the emphasis is being placed now," Tokovinin said.
