Moscow Will Respond to NATO Military Buildup Near Russia’s Border – Lavrov
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said that Moscow would respond to NATO military buildup near Russian border „in an adequate way.”
„We have confirmed our stance that military buildup near our border does not contribute to the restoration of trust in the Euroatlantic,” the Russian foreign minister said during a news conference with his Spanish counterpart.
Lavrov added that „we are forced to react in an adequate way, but we are sure that these problems need to be solved through an equal dialog based on mutual respect.”
On February 5, NATO defense ministers agreed to set up a new high-readiness force dubbed Spearhead Force as part of the NATO Response Force. Altogether, the enhanced Response Force will be increased and count up to around 30,000 troops.
The ministers also decided to establish six command and control units in Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania tasked with “ensuring that national and NATO forces from across the Alliance are able to act as one from the start” if a crisis arises.
