He said this in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Morgulov pointed out that “the synchronous reaction of the regional like-minded people of the United States - Canada, Japan and New Zealand, who are going to start - as they put it - "to establish contacts" with the "troika" is indicative.
“The task is obvious: to form a platform for the eventual establishment of the NATO military potential in the Asia-Pacific region.
This can hardly be considered in isolation from the trend of turning the alliance towards Asia, enshrined in the updated NATO strategy, with the undisguised goal of containing China, ”said Morgulov.
Earlier, the media wrote that Japan had unofficially received an invitation to participate in the AUKUS defense alliance, which includes the United States, Britain and Australia.
