The decision to appoint Acting Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as NATO chief will hardly change the alliance’s hostile line towards Russia, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, APA reports citing TASS.
"This choice can hardly change anything in the general line of NATO and its member states, which both separately, as independent member states under the direct leadership of the US, and together as an alliance are working to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia," the spokesman said, adding that "right now this is an alliance that is hostile to us."
