The Russian Embassy spoke out about NATO nuclear exercises

NATO nuclear exercises Steadfast Noon are not helping to reduce tensions in Europe, despite statements by alliance representatives that there is no threat to Moscow. This opinion was voiced by diplomats of the Russian Embassy in Belgium in the Telegram channel.

“These exercises, in conditions where NATO is positioning our country as the main security threat, do not help reduce tension on the continent and are part of the alliance’s nuclear policy, the negative attitude of Moscow towards which is well known,” follows from the diplomatic mission’s message.

The embassy noted that the Russian Federation will closely monitor the progress of the North Atlantic Alliance exercises. Diplomats said Russia took note of statements from NATO officials that the exercises were regular and did not pose a threat.
