US Permanent Representative to NATO said there are no plans of the alliance to attack Russia

NATO is not going to attack Russia or infringe on its interests. This was stated by the US permanent representative to the organization, Matthew Whitaker, on CNBC.

“We will defend every inch of NATO territory, but at the same time we are not offensive-oriented. We don’t want to attack Russia or somehow infringe on its interests,” he said.

This is how the diplomat commented on a diplomatic note from Moscow, which indicated that NATO’s actions around the Kaliningrad region increase the risk of a direct armed clash between Russia and the alliance.
