According to Balbek, NATO countries need to somehow justify their now regular presence in the Black Sea with the help of such statements.
He also added that the reconnaissance planes of the alliance countries "stuck" to the Russian air borders and at the same time, as the parliamentarian stressed, in the West they do not consider this a "game of muscles".
“So any accusations against Russia do not contribute to the warming of our relations.
Unfortunately, the West did not understand Russia: it is useless for us to threaten, but we are always open to dialogue, ”the deputy concluded.
As the British Chief of Defense said earlier, he believes that the most serious threat in the Euro-Atlantic region comes from Russia.
Carter noted that Russia "flexes its muscles" in the British "backyard", "and does it in a showy manner, which has not been observed since the Cold War."
