Olekas: Deployment of UK troops to Baltics is reactions to Moscow’s actions, not vice versa

“I think that such statements do not match reality, because it’s not them [Russians] reacting to our [NATO‘s] actions, but us reacting to theirs: militarization in the Kaliningrad Oblast, mobilization of equipment are the actions that forced us to respond, not vice versa,” Minister Olekas told BNS on Thursday.

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”.
