Russian envoy says NATO ‘terrorising its own citizens’ to justify war build-up

NATO news

European NATO governments are frightening their own populations with claims of a looming Russian attack in order to fuel militarisation and push the continent toward confrontation, Moscow’s ambassador to Belgium, Denis Gonchar, has charged.

Speaking at a security forum hosted by the Russian Embassy in Brussels and co-organised with Belarus, Gonchar accused Western leaders of deliberately “terrorising” the public with what he called fabricated threats from the Kremlin to secure support for soaring military budgets and an increasingly aggressive stance toward Russia.

He argued that the EU’s embrace of large-scale rearmament is destroying the vision of a peaceful, prosperous Europe and turning the bloc into “a NATO offshoot,” while simultaneously eroding its global influence.

Gonchar said Western attempts to weaken Russia now extend far beyond Europe, targeting nations across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America—efforts he insisted would fail just as attempts to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia in Ukraine have fallen short. The event, attended by diplomats from more than 50 missions and several European lawmakers, highlighted Russia’s claim that the Ukraine conflict is a NATO-driven proxy war and that European leaders are deflecting domestic failures by promoting what Moscow calls a manufactured fear of Russian aggression.

  1. Europe’s richest bankers stand to lose heavily on their bets against Russia, and are willing to send young men to their deaths to avoid taking their losses.
