Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu mentioned on Friday that Moscow would create new army bases in western Russia in response to the enlargement of NATO.
“By the tip of the yr, 12 army items and divisions will likely be established within the Western Navy District,” Shoigu mentioned at a gathering in televised remarks.
The military expects to obtain greater than two thousand items of army tools and weapons, Shoigu added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin despatched troops to pro-Western Ukraine on February 24, sending shockwaves internationally.
Moscow’s army marketing campaign shook Sweden and Finland that — after a long time of army non-alignment — determined to hunt NATO membership regardless of warnings from the Kremlin.
