Russian MFA: NATO build-up in Poland, Baltic states is provocative, short-sighted
udf.byThe NATO build-up in Poland and the Baltic countries, as well as the increasing number of NATO exercises in Europe are provocative and short-sighted to say the least, Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a press briefing on 19 August, BelTA has learned. “We continue to proceed from the fact that Europe as a whole does not have any insolvable military and political issues that could need a military solution or a significant presence of military and political blocs,” Maria Zakharova said. “Nevertheless, the real state of things and the increasing NATO military buildup along our western borders suggest that the alliance thinks differently,” the spokeswoman added.
