MOSCOW, February 17. /TASS/. The meeting of NATO defense chiefs held in Brussels on Thursday showed the alliance s purposeful course to escalate the situation in Europe, which may end badly for Western countries, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on Friday. The NATO meeting once again showed that the Washington led alliance continues to purposefully escalate the situation in Europe, throwing more and more forces and resources into confrontation with our country, creating hotbeds of instability along its perimeter. All this can simply end badly for themselves. It is a pity that the West may realize this too late, the diplomat said. She also noted that this meeting discussed the supply of weapons to Kiev to prepare for a spring counterattack. Judging by the results of the Brussels sit ins, the impression is that pumping Ukraine with weapons is organized by the alliance countries including for enrichment of the Western military industrial complex, primarily the American one, to provide it with long terms contracts, Zakharova pointed out, It is simply impossible to explain otherwise their unrestrained desire to get rid of their arsenals to the detriment of ensuring national security, especially since the products ordered now will see the light of day only in two or three years. In her words, ordinary Europeans, who pay for these arms supplies, suffer from such irresponsible actions of NATO.
