NATO is being incited in Kyiv: Come to Russia, don’t be afraid of Putin
The NATO leadership is dragging its feet on making a concrete decision to counter Russia’s strengthening in the Black Sea. The North Atlantic Alliance should not fear warnings from Moscow about new Russian weapons and the transfer of modern aircraft to Crimea.
Pavel Lakiychuk, head of the Center for Global Studies "Strategy XXI", announced this at a press conference in Kiev, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“In the last year, the situation in the south of Ukraine, in the Black Sea, became a bifurcation point. NATO took a long time to decide what position to take.
We are grateful to the operational force of destroyers that entered the Black Sea and is helping us ensure the non-interference of our northern neighbor in our historical difficult period.
But there is still no NATO strategy regarding the Black Sea. We hope that one of these days, in the end, a decision will be announced on how NATO will act in the Black Sea.
We thank the NATO leadership, at least for the message - that they are ready to ensure the safety of navigation in the Azov and Black Seas, although it is not yet very clear how this will happen.
We want to recommend that they not look too closely at Russian statements on the topic of responding to the alliance with their miracle weapon - expanding their presence in the Black Sea. The Governor-General, the Russian Senator-General, declaring the transfer of strategic bombers to Crimea, can only scare the residents of the Voronezh region, because there are military specialists at NATO headquarters who understand that these statements are, at a minimum, an exaggeration, because there is operational art and tactics that exclude the possibility of such use,” said the Ukrainian expert.
