Russian President Vladimir Putin has organized a series of military drills later this summer that he says will enable Russia to destroy NATO within 48 hours.
In response to Canada deploying troops to Latvia as part of a NATO plan to increase a Western military presence along the Russian border, Moscow has hit back with a plan that will put NATO’s efforts to shame.
Orrazz.com reports:
Latvian ambassador to Canada Karlis Eihenbaums said Friday that his nation, which has previously expressed concern about Russian military activity in Europe’s Baltic region, was particularly on edge ahead of its neighbor’s quadrennial defense maneuvers called Zapad, or “West,” due to be held in August and September.
Eihenbaums said the drills, which date back to the Soviet period, have left Latvia uneasy in past years, but that this year’s exercise would be especially concerning given the dueling military buildup that has occurred between NATO and Russia in the past few years.
“You cannot feel safe,” Eihenbaums told CBC News.
Canada has already begun sending vehicles and equipment to Latvia, which was designated by NATO last year as one of four battle groups to which the multinational force would devote its resources.
