MOSCOW, November 30. /TASS/. The joint statement adopted at the NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Bucharest indicates that the alliance is not interested in a political, diplomatic settlement in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Wednesday.

"I cannot ignore the statement adopted by the foreign ministers of NATO member countries at their meeting in Bucharest between November 29 and 30. Its wording indicates that NATO is absolutely uninterested in a political and diplomatic solution in Ukraine," she noted. "NATO countries are trying to accuse the Russian side of criminal acts and atrocities, while in reality these are committed by Ukraine’s armed forces against the backdrop of total connivance by the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime."

NATO has continued to push ahead with the policy that took shape immediately after the coup d'etat in Ukraine in February 2014, a policy of "whitewashing the Kiev regime and, accordingly, demonizing Russia in order to justify the existence of the North Atlantic Alliance."

NATO countries have been accusing Russia of disrupting global food supplies, "although it was Moscow that offered real solutions" to this problem.

"The attempt to make Russia responsible for the incident involving a Ukrainian missile that crashed on Poland’s territory looks outrageous," Zakharova added.
