An increase in NATO activities forces Russia to undertake symmetrical measures to negate the emerging threats, Sergey Shoigu said at the outside session of the Defense Ministrys collegium. <\/p>\n

The Russian minister noted that, in the first half of 2018, NATO conducted 13 large-scale military exercises involving over 40,000 servicemen and 2000 units of combat hardware near the blocs south-western borders.<\/p>\n

Shoigu also told the Russian military command that when preparing a response to NATOs unfriendly actions they should combine the operations aimed at strategic containment and boosting the combat preparedness of troops of the Southern Military District. However, the minister noted that a recent inspection at the district revealed that forces there were ready for any scenario involving confrontation with foreign opponents.<\/p>\n

The minister emphasized that Russia was not increasing the strength of its military forces deployed on the \u201ccontact line\u201d with the NATO bloc, but increased their combat ability through more intensive training and the introduction of new, more effective weapons.<\/p>\n

At the same time Shoigu noted that, since 2015, the strength of NATO military groups stationed in the Baltic countries, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria increased from 2000 to 15000 people. This increase was conducted \u201con the background of the Baltic and Polish hysteria caused by imaginary plans of alleged Russian aggression,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

As for the Crimean Republic which hosted Wednesday's session of the Defense Ministrys collegium, Shoigu emphasized that the Russian military group stationed on the peninsula \u201cwould not leave a single chance to any potential adversary who would risk making a claim on the originally Russian lands<\/em>.\u201d He also revealed that the Defense Ministry has created and is now perfecting a unique group that combines servicemen from various branches of the military.<\/p>\n

In late May, the chair of the Upper House of Russian Parliament, Valentina Matviyenko, reiterated the position that is currently shared by many Russian officials \u2013 that the image of a hostile Russia had been invented by NATO generals and Western spin doctors for internal purposes and has little to do with reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cNATO is a relic from the bipolar period of history that by definition cannot survive without looking for opponents. Today they found this opponent in the so-called Russian threat and I would like to emphasize that the so-called hostile and revisionist Russia is not an objective reality but purely internal project of the West itself through which the West is trying to solve its own internal problems<\/em>,\u201d Valentina Matviyenko said was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.<\/p>\n

In early June, Russian military forces conducted major exercises in the Crimea and in South Russias Krasnodar Region with participation of marines, anti-aircraft units, and about 100 helicopters. The war games were held at the time as Ukrainian Navy training which led to some parts of the Azov Sea being temporarily sealed off.<\/p>\n
