Patrushev: Russia’s response to NATO threats against the Kaliningrad region will be swift

SVETLOGORSK (Kaliningrad region), October 1 - RIA Novosti. If NATO tries to put into practice the threats to the Kaliningrad region, Russia’s response will be adequate and quick and the alliance will regret its actions, said Nikolai Patrushev, assistant to the head of state, chairman of the Russian Maritime Collegium.

“I regularly hear statements from the West, and in particular from the NATO bloc, which positions itself as defensive. In fact, it is not defensive at all, it is an extremely aggressive bloc, and behaves aggressively, and the statements sound aggressive,” Patrushev said at a working meeting with the governor of the Kaliningrad region, Alexei Besprozvannykh.
