Russia - Zakharova: Russia and Belarus are forced to respond to the build-up of NATO forces near their common borders

Russia (bbabo.net) - Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine are defiantly pulling military equipment and armed security forces to the common border of the Union State, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

The diplomat noted that Moscow shares the concerns of Belarusian colleagues about such an increase in NATO's military presence along the external borders of Belarus.

At the briefing, Zakharova stressed that Moscow and Minsk were forced to respond adequately to what was happening. In particular, through joint patrolling of the airspace, regular joint training, and exercises.

So, in February, the joint exercise "Allied Resolve-2022" will be held. Units from the RF Armed Forces have already begun to arrive on the territory of Belarus.
