Russia views NATO as a hostile alliance, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, after President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. could end its membership.

Peskov, who was responding to questions about Trump’s speech on the Iran War as well as the future of the military alliance, also said Russian President Vladimir Putin was talking to regional leaders about trying to end the Middle East conflict.

“The president is continuing these ⁠contacts, and if our ​services are somehow required, we ​are, of course, ready to make our contribution to ensuring that ​the military situation transitions ​to a peaceful course as soon as ‌possible,” he told reporters.
