UK’s Defence Secretary Michael Fallon announced on Thursday about plans to deploy troops to the Baltic states and Poland in order to prevent Russia’s provocations. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov immediately stated that “any plans of NATO to move its military infrastructure closer to Russia will lead to reciprocal steps in order to restore the necessary parity”.
