It is impossible to resolve the situation in Ukraine without solving the problem of NATO's expansion to the borders of Russia, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
"And the unrestrained expansion of the alliance's geopolitical space up to our borders, including Ukraine, has become one of the root causes of the conflict," Zakharova said, adding that "without its elimination, its [Ukraine's] settlement is impossible."
Russia will seek to solve this problem by military or political methods, the spokeswoman said.
"We have already offered different options," the diplomat added.
