Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said Russia has sufficient military resources to prevent the Baltic Sea from becoming a “NATO”. Grushko noted that the term “NATO sea” is just a figure of speech that partners in Brussels like to use.
In an interview with Izvestia, the diplomat pointed out that Russia guarantees freedom of navigation and operations for its naval forces in the Baltic Sea. According to the Deputy Foreign Minister, Moscow has enough resources to prevent the realization of NATO’s dreams and protect its interests.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that after Finland joined NATO and increased the alliance’s line of contact with Russia’s borders, the situation in Northern Europe will change dramatically and Russia will be forced to take military-technical and other measures to eliminate threats. In addition, Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet reported in March that the US strategy aims to turn the Black Sea into a “lake” of NATO countries, raising concerns in Turkey, which believes that the sea should belong to all. countries equally.
