Yulia Zhdanova, head of the Russian delegation at the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, added that European countries, by continuing to use Ukraine to confront Russia, are obstructing progress toward a peaceful settlement.

Vienna, October 14. /TASS/. Yulia Zhdanova, the head of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control, said that the "theory of victory" presented by the NATO command shows that the alliance is ready for high-intensity combat operations against Russia.

He said at the Security Cooperation Forum meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe: "Theory of Victory" presented by General of the US Air Force, Alexus Grinkovich, Supreme Commander of NATO Allies in Europe, at the Security Forum in Warsaw, added decisive details to the overall picture of the bloc's readiness for high-intensity combat operations against our country. His statement is available to Dice. According to Zhdanova, one of the key areas of adaptation for military companies of NATO countries is the distributed production of weapons, including relatively inexpensive drones with dual-use components.

The diplomat also described the mass production of cheap and simplified military products in Western countries as a sign of a shift in production towards wartime conditions. He said that European countries are preventing the progress of a peaceful solution by continuing to use Ukraine to confront Russia.
