Russia Rejects NATO Threat Allegations

Russia dismissed claims by Germany's intelligence head that it could attack NATO by the decade's end, arguing that NATO's expansion poses threats to Russia. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized that NATO's movements are provocative, not Russia's actions.

In a rebuttal to Germany's intelligence chief, Russia has rejected assertions that it may attack NATO by the end of the decade. Moscow argues that the real threat comes from NATO's expansion towards Russian borders.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Monday that NATO's successive enlargement has been consistently moving closer to Russia, countering claims that Russia poses a threat to the alliance.

Officials from Moscow continue to emphasize that NATO's strategic moves are seen as provocative from a Russian perspective, suggesting that tensions are exacerbated by the alliance, not the Kremlin.
