The North Atlantic Alliance decided to expand the number of multinational military contingents in 30 European countries, primarily in Bulgaria, Slovakia and Romania, the German DPA agency learned.
Appropriate measures were taken due to the accumulation of Russian armed forces on the border with Ukraine, RBC reports.
Prior to this, NATO battle groups were located only in Poland and the Baltic countries – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Recall that earlier in February, US Defense Department spokesman John Kirby assured that the Pentagon did not see growing threats to NATO’s eastern flank (Poland, Romania, Germany), where additional American troops had previously been deployed.
And before that, NATO announced its readiness to transfer 40 thousand soldiers to the eastern flank “if necessary.”
We also add that back in November-December 2021, the world media was filled with the topic of the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that should follow. According to the authors and experts of these publications, a sign of “invasion” is the concentration of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering Ukraine. Among the likely sanctions were both the shutdown of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, as well as restrictions against Russian energy companies, and the shutdown of the SWIFT international interbank settlement system.
