Moscow Warns of NATO Nuclear Drill / Is a Russian Military Response on the Way?

A Russian official warned that NATO nuclear mission drills near the country's borders could push the situation out of control.

During his speech at the meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Polyansky said: NATO planes are practicing nuclear missions near the borders of Russia.

He added: Naturally, we have to prepare an appropriate military response against such provocative actions.

He went on to point out: Do the Brussels authorities know that they might overdo their exercises and the situation would get out of their control and eventually lead to a direct nuclear conflict?

According to Ambassador Arjan, in recent years, Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about the unprecedented level of NATO activities near its western borders.

The Kremlin has emphasized that Moscow is not a threat to any country, but at the same time, it will not ignore any actions that may endanger Russia's interests.

"Vladislav Maselnikov," the director of the European Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, had previously stated that the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are seeking to justify the increase in their military budgets by falsely claiming the existence of a threat from Russia, and emphasized that NATO is preparing for a major conflict.

In an interview with reporters, Maselnikov stated: NATO members are justifying the alliance's preparations for a major conflict with a false claim about the threat from Russia.

Regarding the results of the recent NATO summit in Ankara, he noted that this is not the first time that NATO declares Russia as a threat.

The director of the European Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry added: This claim was first raised in 2022 in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and since then it has been repeated every year in the final statement of the summit of this military alliance.

In the end, Maselnikov stated that since then the false claim of the Russian threat has been discussed at all levels, both in the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Brussels and in the capitals of NATO member states, he clarified: the members of this military alliance, by making this false claim, justify all the offensive preparations of this military alliance for a major conflict, increasing military costs and strengthening their military-industrial capacity.
