Question: What are the risks for our country posed by the large-scale NATO exercises in the immediate vicinity of the Russian-Finnish border, which will begin on April 26?

Answer: NATO military exercises near the Russian borders are provocative in nature. Their task is to exert military pressure on the Russian Federation by demonstrating force.

To justify their aggressive aspirations, representatives of the North Atlantic Bloc purposefully escalate hysteria around the imaginary Russian “threat”. Including actively spreading insinuations about certain plans of Russia to attack the member countries of the organization.

It is obvious that the upcoming practice of military operations on the territory of Finland is part of a hybrid war against our country. Helsinki is striving to complete its official “registration” in NATO as a “rookie” as soon as possible and become a full participant in this adventure. The Alliance continues the practical military development of the once neutral state, an authoritative participant in discussions on strengthening stability and security. The mentioned maneuvers near the borders of Russia increase the risks of possible military incidents.

For our part, we are closely monitoring the aggressive actions of the “collective West”. There is no doubt that all necessary political and military-technical measures will be taken to stop threats to our country’s defense capability.
