OREANDA-NEWS Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, at a meeting with participants of the scientific and educational program "Dialogue for the Future", announced NATO's desire for global control. This is reported by TASS.

According to him, the alliance declares a global scope in ensuring its security and seeks control over the whole of Eurasia. He noted that NATO was created in order to defend the territory of its members. "They promised us not to expand the alliance. They expanded it," the head of the department stressed.

Lavrov added that this position of NATO is explained by an attempt to put economic processes under its control.

Earlier, the head of the NATO Military Committee, Rob Bauer, called for more weapons to be produced to strike deep into Russia in case the crisis between Kiev and Moscow continues. In his opinion, this will become insurance in case the Russian Federation decides to attack the alliance.
