In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union grew weaker and subsequently broke apart. Why is this happening? Where did this insolent manner of talking down from the height of their exceptionalism, infallibility and all-permissiveness come from? What is the explanation for this contemptuous and disdainful attitude to our interests and absolutely legitimate demands? Its military machine is moving and, as I said, is approaching our very border. In response to our proposals, we invariably faced either cynical deception and lies or attempts at pressure and blackmail, while the North Atlantic alliance continued to expand despite our protests and concerns. It is a fact that over the past 30 years we have been patiently trying to come to an agreement with the leading NATO countries regarding the principles of equal and indivisible security in Europe.
I am referring to the eastward expansion of NATO, which is moving its military infrastructure ever closer to the Russian border. I spoke about our biggest concerns and worries, and about the fundamental threats which irresponsible Western politicians created for Russia consistently, rudely and unceremoniously from year to year. I will begin with what I said in my address on February 21, 2022. I consider it necessary today to speak again about the tragic events in Donbass and the key aspects of ensuring the security of Russia.
