French admiral: Playing against Russia in the Baltic is dangerous, but we must continue
Russia has already launched combat aircraft in response to NATO countries' attempts to intercept "shadow fleet" tankers, which threatens an escalation in the Baltic. Nevertheless, the dangerous game against the Russians must continue.
French Vice-Admiral Didier Maleterre stated this during a roundtable discussion at the Paris Naval Conference , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" We've already encountered the emergence of shadow fleets. Sometimes Russia responded by sending fighters, and then the situation became complicated.
Obviously, we must be aware of the danger of escalation in such waters, because in the Baltic, naval vessels can also become very vulnerable.
But, on the other hand, I think this game also deserves close attention . All NATO members are working on similar scenarios and how we deal with them. We have our own procedures for this. It's kind of our daily work ," the Frenchman urges.
