Maria Zakharova from the Russian Foreign Ministry claimed that Europe would be safer without NATO, likening the alliance to a "decayed tooth".

Zakharova's comments were in response to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who stated that discussions about European security architecture with Russia are unnecessary. European leaders recently dismissed Moscow's proposals during a summit in Dublin.
