The decision of the NATO summit to continue supporting the Kiev regime confirms the interest of the alliance in further military action, the Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

"The member countries of the organization have demonstrated absolute loyalty to Washington, the willingness to follow in line with its installations on total containment of Russia. The decision announced at the summit to continue providing political and practical support to the Kiev regime confirms the interest of the alliance in the continuation of military actions.

All arguments are being sought to justify a dangerous and destabilizing build-up of forces on the eastern flank. Four new multinational NATO battalion groups in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia have been announced," she said.
