"While the useless NATO military bloc accuses us of provocations and continues to gnash its teeth in Brussels, we are preparing to watch the 2018 World Cup," the ministry said on Twitter.
Earlier, the conference participants spoke about Russia's "provocative activities" near the alliance's borders. NATO also accused Russia of "deploying modern dual-use missiles in Kaliningrad". In addition, representatives of the alliance accused Russia of "continuous violations of the airspace of NATO countries and the increase of military power in Crimea".
The Federation Council called the military bloc's accusations against Russia absurd.
