NATO aims to contain Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson: Russia closely monitors NATO military exercises
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova stated on the 21st local time that Russia is closely monitoring the ongoing NATO "Air Guard 2023" military exercise. The scale of the exercise indicates that the United States and its allies are formulating plans to combat the enemy. The goal of the exercise is also obvious, and in the past few decades, Russia has always been designated as the exercise target by the North. This type of exercise reveals that NATO is not a defensive organization, and all its efforts are aimed at comprehensively containing or even attacking Russia. Zakharova emphasized that those who attempt to threaten Russia's sovereignty and territorial integrity will bear the consequences.
From the 12th to the 23rd of this month, NATO held its largest air military exercise since its establishment in Germany and other places, the "Air Guard 2023". About 10000 soldiers and 250 military aircraft of various types from more than 20 countries participated in this exercise.
