20251217             MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/.
20251217             NATO plans a military confrontation with Russia by 2030, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov said at an expanded meeting of the ministry’s board.
20251217             "All of this indicates NATO's preparation for a military confrontation with Russia.
20251217             The alliance's plans provide for such readiness by the turn of the 2030s.
20251217             This has been repeatedly stated openly by official representatives of the NATO bloc," he said.
20251217             Belousov emphasized: "We are not the ones making threats; we are the ones being threatened".

20251217             MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/.
20251217             Russia does not deny anyone the right to security, but insists that promises made to it be fulfilled, including on NATO not expanding eastward, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at an expanded meeting of the Defense Ministry’s board.
20251217             "I'm not even talking about NATO expansion, although that's obvious.
20251217             Today, we are told that we have no right to force anyone to resolve their security issues the way we want, nor to deprive them of their rights.
20251217             We are not depriving anyone of any rights.
20251217             We are not demanding anything special from anyone," Putin said.
20251217             He emphasized that Russia "is simply insisting on the fulfillment of the promises made to it".
20251217             "It was publicly stated that there would be no NATO expansion to the east.
20251217             And what?"
20251217             the president asked rhetorically.
20251217             Putin added that the West "couldn't care less" about these promises".
20251217             One wave of expansion after another!"
20251217             he exclaimed, emphasizing that Russia is not asking for anything special".
20251217             I repeat once again, we insist on the fulfillment of the promises made to us.
20251217             I think everyone in this room understands that it is one thing to have agreements with the Soviet Union, and quite another to have agreements with modern Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed.
20251217             They simply ignored all our interests completely.
20251217             Ultimately, it led to a coup d’etat in Ukraine," the Russian leader emphasized.

20251217             MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/.
20251217             The actions of the US administration in the Caribbean have been widely condemned by nearly all countries, while Europe has been eerily quiet on the matter, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated during a news conference following talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
20251217             "Regarding the behavior of the United States, namely its actions in the Caribbean, just about every country has expressed disapproval at the measures, except for the Europeans who have chosen silence and discretion.
20251217             Their strategy appears to be focused on persuading the US administration under President Donald Trump to adopt a European approach to the Ukrainian issue - avoiding escalation and preventing the war initiated by the West against Russia.
20251217             As I have previously mentioned, their goal is to sway Trump and his team to their side and to hinder the White House from pursuing a constructive agenda aimed at resolving the Ukrainian crisis," Lavrov explained.
20251217             He further underscored that "all other countries have clearly expressed their positions".
20251217             Lavrov voiced concern over the US Navy's recent actions and Pentagon statements, describing them as belligerent.
20251217             He condemned the illegal sinking of civilian vessels in the Caribbean - conducted without investigations or trials - and warned that there are plans for ground operations, actions that threaten to destabilize prospects for reaching agreements within the existing international power balance.
20251217             Despite these tensions, Lavrov highlighted that Russia appreciates the current US administration's willingness to engage in dialogue on several issues".
20251217             While not on all matters, the United States remains open to discussion.
20251217             In many cases, President Trump has indicated that decisions have already been made and only need to be implemented," he noted".
20251217             We do recognize a positive shift from the previous Biden administration, which was unwilling to engage in dialogue and was incapable of taking meaningful action".
20251217             Meanwhile, the US continues to make unfounded accusations against the Venezuelan government, claiming insufficient efforts to combat drug trafficking.
20251217             The US Navy has deployed a task force led by the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, including a nuclear submarine and over 16,000 troops, to the Caribbean Sea.
20251217             Since September, the US military has sunk at least 20 high-speed boats in the region, resulting in the deaths of more than 80 individuals.
20251217             On December 10, President Trump confirmed the seizure of an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, asserting that the US intends to retain the vessel's cargo.
20251217             The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry condemned this action, describing the armed seizure as "a flagrant act of theft and international piracy".

20251217             MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/.
20251217             The West is trying to twist the norms of international law regarding the Ukrainian situation, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
20251217             "The objective course of history makes inevitable the implementation of lofty principles of the UN Charter.
20251217             Moreover, it is necessary to implement these principles, respect them, and apply them in practice not selectively, on a case-by-case basis, but exclusively in their entirety, completeness, and interrelatedness," Lavrov said at a press conference following his meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi in Moscow.
20251217             "This is especially true in relation to the Ukrainian conflict, where the collective West is trying to distort every international law norm, to replace them with its own rules that do not fit into the generally accepted guidelines of international law," he continued.
20251217             According to Lavrov, with these "rules," the West, especially the Europeans, want to continue their neocolonial policy, "aimed at living at the expense of others, as it has been for the last 500 years".
20251217             After their talks in Moscow earlier in the day, Lavrov and his Iranian counterpart Araghchi signed a plan for consultations between the diplomatic agencies for 2026-2028.
20251217             The signing ceremony took place at the Russian Foreign Ministry's Reception House in downtown Moscow.

20251217             BRUSSELS, December 17. /TASS/.
20251217             EU ambassadors’ preliminary talks on expropriating Russian assets have effectively reached an impasse, Politico Europe reported.
20251217             "Less than 24 hours before EU leaders descend on Brussels for vital talks on financing Ukraine’s war effort, Belgium believes negotiations are going in reverse," Politico said".
20251217             ‘We are going backward,’ Belgium’s EU ambassador, Peter Moors, told his peers on Wednesday during closed-door talks," the agency added, noting that at a meeting of the EU Committee of Permanent Representatives on the issue of Russian assets, ambassadors only moved further away from reaching an agreement.
20251217             Politico states, citing sources, that Belgium has demanded "substantial financial and legal safeguards" from EU countries.
20251217             Belgium believes that other EU nations should share any risks the kingdom may face if the €185 billion in Russian assets blocked at the Euroclear depository are expropriated.
20251217             The amount of guarantees should not be limited to €210 billion, as allegedly proposed by the European Commission, since the damage to the kingdom may be significantly greater.
20251217             According to Politico, other EU countries aren’t on board with providing unlimited guarantees.
20251217             Similarly, Belgium’s demand that all EU countries terminate their investment agreements with Russia in the event of asset expropriation did not receive universal approval".
20251217             To Belgium's annoyance, several countries are reluctant to do so over fears of retribution from the Kremlin," the newspaper notes.
20251217             Upon arriving in Brussels for the EU-Western Balkans summit scheduled for the evening of December 17, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced that the issue of Russian assets had already been "removed from the agenda of the EU summit to be held on December 18-19".
20251217             However, EU institutions have not yet officially confirmed this.
20251217             Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Belgium Denis Gonchar said in an interview with TASS that regardless of the scheme the EU chooses to expropriate Russian assets, it would still be theft.
20251217             The ambassador warned that Russia's response would "follow immediately" and force the West to "count its losses".

20251217             WASHINGTON, December 18. /TASS/.
20251217             US President Donald Trump has said that Washington wants to regain the oil rights in Venezuela that were allegedly taken away from the US.
20251217             "You remember, they took all of our energy rights.
20251217             They took all of our oil from not that long ago, and we want it back, but they took it.
20251217             They illegally took it," he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews.
20251217             Earlier, he wrote on his Truth Social platform that Venezuela was "completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America," adding that it would "only get bigger" and "be like nothing they have ever seen before" until Caracas returns to Washington "stolen" oil and other assets.
20251217             Washington has accused Caracas of not doing enough to combat drug smuggling.
20251217             According to The New York Times, US President Donald Trump has authorized CIA covert operations in Venezuela.
20251217             According to the US media, Washington may begin delivering strikes on drug cartels in Venezuela in the near future.
20251217             In August, The New York Times reported that Trump had signed a classified directive to begin using military force against Latin American drug cartels.
20251217             Afterward, significant additional US military units were deployed to the Caribbean Sea region.
20251217             Washington then began launching airstrikes against boats that the US government claimed were transporting drugs to the US in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
20251217             In November, the Pentagon announced that a strike group of US ships led by the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford had entered the area of responsibility of the US Southern Command to combat drug smuggling in the region.
