Russia Considers Deployment of US Troops in Baltic States as Escalation - Foreign Ministry
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia considers potential deployment of additional NATO contingents as escalation, including the US troops in Baltic states, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
"We certainly consider potential deployment of additional NATO contingents, including US troops, and building of relevant military infrastructure in Baltic states as escalation," Zakharova told a briefing.
The US's plans to deploy troops in Baltic States run counter to its declared desire to reduce tensions in Europe, Zakharova added.
If aggression starts from Western Europe, Russia will respond to this, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke clearly and unequivocally about this, Maria Zakharova said.
"If such aggression starts from Western Europe, the European Union, as an association of the relevant countries, the answer will be given. Which one? I think it is better for you to re-read the relevant statement of the Russian President. He said it unequivocally, clearly," Zakharova told a briefing.
Russia appreciates the initiatives that can help resolve the crisis in Ukraine, including US proposals in Alaska, Zakharova said.
