Russia continues to affirm that it has no plans to attack NATO
In a statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry affirmed that Russia has no plans to attack NATO territory.
According to RIA Novosti, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on September 1 that Russia has no plans to attack NATO territory.
Earlier, the media reported that Lithuania had started construction of a military base, where 4,000 German soldiers will be stationed by the end of 2027.
Regarding this incident, the German Foreign Ministry said: “Germany described the deployment of its troops in Lithuania as a “historic decision”, adding that “the first servicemen arrived in April 2024, and the official announcement of the German army brigade's operations is expected in 2025”.
According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, “they believe that they would have to bear the “first blow” of the Russian military in the event of an attack on the Baltic state.” In addition, senior German military officials believe that Russia “could attack” NATO territory in the next 5-7 years.
“For our part, we once again note that our country has no such plans,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said, adding that NATO’s military buildup would force Moscow to take additional measures.
“The build-up of the military potential of the North Atlantic Alliance, which is hostile to us, only increases the level of tension and forces us to take appropriate response measures,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
