DISINFO: The West destroys the security system in the world
SUMMARY
About twenty new formations and units will appear in the Western Military District by the end of the year. This will be Russia's response to the activity of NATO countries led by the United States, which are increasing the intensity of flights and the presence of warships at the Russian borders.
The actions of our Western colleagues destroy the security system in the world and force us to take adequate countermeasures.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about NATO, an attempt to justify heavy military build-up of Russian Armed Forces on the Western direction.
NATO is an Alliance based on collective defense. As is declared on the official webpage of the Alliance:
"NATO's purpose is to guarantee the freedom and security of its members through political and military means".
During the Warsaw summit in July 2016, NATO has made it clear that:
"The Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia".
NATO's exercises and military deployments are not directed against Russia, nor any other country. Exercises are designed to ensure that NATO forces are trained, able to operate together and ready to respond to any threat from any direction.
Read similar cases alleging that NATO prepares to attack Russia, or that the Alliance is driven by Russophobia and enlarged to the East despite promises not to do that, or NATO exercises in Estonia are an unfriendly message addressed to Russia, that NATO’s politicians use Defender Europe 2020 as an opportunity to escalate tensions with Russia, that NATO maneuvers in Europe are organised to create zones of tension for Moscow.
