Moscow said, on Wednesday, that the NATO summit in Madrid demonstrated the alliance's desire to contain Russia, and that Finland and Sweden's NATO bids were "destabilizing."

On his account, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said as quoted by Russian news agencies that "the summit in Madrid confirms and consolidates this bloc's policy of aggressive containment of Russia."

"We consider the expansion of the North Atlantic alliance to be a purely destabilizing factor in international affairs”, he added.

NATO leaders were set to invite Finland and Sweden to join the alliance, on Wednesday, after Turkey dropped its objections, as the alliance sought to strengthen its defenses.

Russia knows what to expect from the summit, according to Ryabkov.

"A new strategic concept will be adopted, where Russia is going to be called a threat to the alliance," he said.

Furthermore, Ryabkov concluded by saying that the alliance poses a threat to Russia.

Earlier today, NATO leaders in Madrid labeled Russia a threat to their security during the summit on Wednesday, with alliance's chief Jens Stoltenberg saying that NATO will “state clearly that Russia poses a direct threat to our security,” as the alliance seeks to upgrade its defense response, by strengthening its eastern flank, given the ongoing war in Ukraine.
