Moscow. January 30. INTERFAX.RU - NATO is building up strike potential in Europe and this maintains a high level of military-political tension, said Colonel-General Anatoly Sidorov, the Head of the Joint Staff of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
“In fact, for several years now, in the immediate vicinity of the CSTO member states, a multinational force grouping has been maintained and is growing, comprising more than 12 thousand military personnel and about 700 units of military equipment. Most of these forces and equipment are deployed in Poland and countries of the Baltic, " Mr. Sidorov said at a news conference in Moscow on Thursday.
He said that NATO is building up its strike and offensive capabilities in Europe and is working out plans for offensive operations. According to Mr. Sidorov, it "creates the prerequisites for maintaining a high level of military-political tension in the European region and, as a result, for growing threats to security to the CSTO member states."
The CSTO representative said that in Europe, the North Atlantic Alliance "is actively modernizing its air bases and other infrastructure, aimed at expanding the capabilities to receive combat aircraft and multinational military contingents."
“The capabilities of the infrastructure of Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland and the Baltic countries to receive and deploy foreign troops are being tested,” Mr. Sidorov said.
The CSTO includes six states: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.
