Russian Defense Minister: Ukraine and Georgia are actively involved in NATO exercises, which violates the current security system in the world

NATO’s growing military potential violates the current security system in the world, forcing Moscow to take measures in response, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu told the ministry’s board meeting on Wednesday.

The scale and intensity of NATO exercises has doubled, and Ukraine and Georgia, which are not NATO member countries, are more actively involved in these exercises. Such steps violates the current security system in the world," Shoigu said.

According to him, NATO continues to develop its basing system in the Baltic states, Eastern and Southern Europe.

"In this situation, we are forced to respond adequately," he added.
