OREANDA-NEWS NATO is responsible for the conflict in Ukraine, which is a consequence of the aggressive policy of the North Atlantic Alliance. This was stated by the official representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanani, in a statement published on the Telegram channel of the foreign ministry.

"Unfortunately, what we are seeing in Ukraine is the result of the policy and aggressive steps of NATO, led by the United States, which are still ongoing," the diplomat said.

Kanani also criticized accusations of alleged military assistance to Russia from Iran. According to him, such statements are used by the West only to increase supplies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and strengthen NATO infrastructure along the Russian border.

Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the movement of NATO's military infrastructure towards the Russian borders continues. According to him, one of the main goals of the alliance is to inflict strategic defeat on Russia and suppress it.
