VIENNA, November 9. /TASS/. NATO and European Union countries are effectively managing the conflict in Ukraine and are responsible for it, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in a video message to the participants of a roundtable discussion on militarization of Europe at the OSCE venue.
"NATO and EU countries are closely involved in the military conflict in Ukraine, are effectively managing it, and are responsible for it," the deputy minister said.
"This is precisely how we view the actions of those who supply Kiev with enormous volumes of weapons and military equipment, provide expert assistance, and, in essence, take command and control on the ground, engage in targeting, provide intelligence and other means to inflict damage on Russia, and participate in preparing acts of sabotage on our territory."
