The actions of the United States of America and NATO contribute to the growing military danger in the world. This opinion of the Russian military was voiced, speaking at a round table in the State Duma, by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, the head of the main military-political department of the Armed Forces, Andrey Kartapolov.
"The actions of the United States and NATO in the European region contribute to the growth of military danger," Interfax quotes the military commander. - The training activities of the alliance troops are carried out with a pronounced anti-Russian goal. Non-aligned countries are becoming more and more involved in them, " Kartapolov said, adding that the Russian military is forced to respond to challenges that are imposed from the outside.
According to Kartapolov, the number of provocations near the borders of Russia has been growing recently. "In response, we are taking appropriate measures to strengthen the country's defense capability and increase the combat potential of the armed forces," the deputy head of the military department said.
Recently, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the actions of the United States and NATO to increase the combat readiness of troops and strengthen the forward presence in Europe contribute to the growth of military danger on the continent.
