MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. NATO’s chief seems to want to drag Russia deeper into the conflict with Ukraine, a senior Russian lawmaker said on Monday.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told the NATO Parliamentary Assembly on Monday that the alliance wants to achieve a peace settlement that would be acceptable for Ukraine and to this end it should beef up arms supplies to Kiev.

"NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s latest statements only prove his paranoid obsession to drag Russia ever deeper into the conflict. And he interprets it as a justification for expanded supplies of military equipment and weapons to Kiev," Grigory Karasin, chairman of the international committee of Russia’s Federation Council (upper parliament house), wrote on his Telegram channel.

"So, who is to be called a war party now? I think the answer is obvious," he added.
