Russian Foreign Ministry: "Nordic Response" military exercise will lead to further escalation of the situation. More than 20,000 military personnel from 14 NATO allies and partner countries will participate in the exercise.
This is another step taken by Norway under the leadership of NATO to strengthen the country's military preparedness. Russia will take corresponding defense measures to deal with threats to national security, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said on the 7th. The exercise is an integral part of NATO's "Resolute Defender 2024" exercise.
