Russia’s presidential aide and Chairman of the Maritime Board, Nikolay Patrushev, has claimed that Europe and NATO "deliberately escalate" situation in the Baltic region and expressed concerns over growing military threats to Russia.
"Following the recent European Union summit, which outlined plans for large-scale militarization, the risk of military threats is expected to rise. Current assessments of the Baltic region indicate a deliberate attempt by European alliance naval forces to escalate tensions. There is a considerable likelihood of increased threats to Russian port infrastructure and the freedom of navigation," Patrushev said in an interview with National Defense magazine.
He alleged that London is behind the escalating situation, as it seeks to "undermine efforts to normalize US-Russian relations and disrupt negotiations on Ukraine."
"The European wing of NATO continues its policy of containing Russia in the Baltic region, showing little regard for the importance of restoring dialogue between Moscow and Washington," Patrushev stated.
He added that NATO members and "their navy is planning to escalate sabotage operations against Russian underwater pipelines, tankers, and bulk carriers."
"Russia will not tolerate any attempts to infringe upon its national interests in the Baltic region. Amid growing security threats in the Northwest, strengthening Russia's military presence in the region, particularly Baltic Fleet's combat readiness, serves as a key guarantor of its sovereignty in this strategic area," - he stated.
