The Kremlin says NATO is effectively at war with Russia as alliance members back Kiev. Moscow insists it remains open to diplomacy but warns frozen assets won’t go unanswered.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that NATO is, in practice, waging war against Russia. He stressed that member states of the alliance provide both direct and indirect support to Kiev. According to him, this reality «requires no further proof».

Peskov went on to say that European countries refuse to address the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine, while Moscow remains open to a political and diplomatic resolution.

He noted that negotiations are currently frozen. In his view, a high-level meeting on Ukraine would only be possible if properly prepared, but neither Kiev nor European governments are showing readiness to engage in such efforts.

Commenting on the possible seizure of Russia’s frozen assets, Peskov warned that such a move would not go unanswered, adding that Moscow intends to defend its property.
