NATO members may be carrying out full-fledged preparations for aggression near Russia’s border, according to Konstantin Sivkov, director of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems.
Speaking at a roundtable in Moscow on NATO’s policy towards Russia, Sivkov argued that there are several signs apparently indicating that the alliance may be preparing for “military aggression.”
“NATO is conducting large-scale full-fledged preparations for military aggression,” the expert said.
He underscored that recently NATO members have been deploying significant military forces to Russia’s western border.
“Four battalions, comprising 1,000 personnel, are currently deployed along Russia’s border. But the firepower of each of those units is much greater than a single battalion would need. In theory, those units could be easily transformed into an army corps with a size of 40,000-50,000 personnel, with additional troops deployed from the United States and other parts of Europe,” Sivkov said.
Moreover, the expert pointed out that earlier NATO recruited Russian speakers for drills in Germany. In March, the description of the vacancy “Russian-speaking role players for NATO exercises” was published on the official portal of the German capital of Berlin.
