Russia does not want a military confrontation with NATO

Russia does not want a direct confrontation with NATO, but is ready for any scenario. "We are always ready for any scenario. But nobody wants this. We once established a special mechanism to prevent these conflicts on the initiative of the US side. Our relevant heads of departments communicate directly with each other and have the opportunity to consult on any situation crisis". This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putini who then added that the use of neo-Nazism against Russia will backfire on countries that adopt such methods.

"Yes, now that Ukraine is being used as a tool to fight against Russia, that suits our potential adversaries. They are ready to use any means, and at one time they used al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations in the fight against us in the Caucasus." The Russian leader said that some countries see the situation from the point of view that, for example, al-Qaeda in Europe is "bad", while the terrorists themselves in the fight against Russia are "good". "It's the same with Nazism, Nazism is bad in general, but if neo-Nazis can be used in the fight against Russia, it's good for them. They are wrong: those who try to use neo-Nazis against us, because in the end will backfire on them, just as terrorism has returned to strike them; and those who try to build their identities on the basis of Nazi ideas, because this will lead them to a dead end". For the Russian Defense Minister, Sergey Shoigu, l "Ukraine is desperately throwing fresh forces to storm Russian positions ... but thanks to the tenacity of the Russian army, the enemy's advance was thwarted. The general said this.

"The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is desperately throwing fresh forces to storm our positions. Thanks to a well-built defense, skillful organization of the fire system, professional actions, endurance and perseverance of the Russian army, the enemy was not allowed to advance,” Shoigu said in a conference call with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces. Shoigu He specified that Ukrainian losses over the past month amounted to 20,824 people and 2,227 units of various weapons, including 10 Leopard tanks and 11 American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

The minister also spoke of the thwarted attempt of Ukrainian troops to break through the Russian defenses in the area of the village of Rabotino: only on July 26 and 27 the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to more than 400 servicemen, as well as 63 armored vehicles.Shoigu specified that the Ukrainian losses in the last month amounted to 20,824 personnel and 2,227 units of various weapons, including 10 Leopard tanks and 11 American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles." In light of the so-called failed 'counter-offensive', the Kiev regime, with the support of Western sponsors, focused on carrying out terrorist attacks against civilian infrastructure in cities and population centers of the Russian Federation,” he added. "The intensity of attacks on Ukrainian military facilities, including those supporting these terrorist attacks, has increased several times," Shoigu said.
