Risks of Unintentional Escalation Could Increase Due to NATO Steadfast Defender Drills, Moscow Says
16:55 21.01.2024 (Updated: 17:50 21.01.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On Thursday, NATO announced that it would kick off exercise Steadfast Defender 2024 next week. The US-led alliance bills it as the largest NATO exercise in decades, with participation from some 90,000 troops from 31 allies and Sweden.
NATO's upcoming military exercise, Steadfast Defender 2024, raises the risk of unintended military confrontation and undermines security in Europe, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told
Sputnik on Sunday.
"Any event of this scale significantly increases the risk of military incidents and further destabilizes security. But European security is of little concern to the top NATO command, which is too busy trying to keep this tool of US influence relevant in the already lost war for the West's global dominance," Grushko said.
The senior diplomat added that Russia would not be intimidated by what he described as a
provocative show of force. He said his country had everything it needed to ensure its security and defense capabilities.
The NATO exercise will run through May. NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Gen. Christopher Cavoli, told reporters on Thursday that the allies planned to test out a conflict scenario against a "near-peer adversary."
