Putin: NATO's Infiltration into the Pacific Region Poses a Threat to Russia
On August 12 local time, Russian President Putin stated during an observation of the Pacific Fleet exercises that NATO is infiltrating the Pacific region, and the potential risk of conflict is increasing. The organization's plans to deploy a series of weapons and equipment pose a threat to Russia.
Putin also mentioned that some countries are violating international maritime law, attempting to restrict the navigation of vessels belonging to Russian economic entities, and even hoping to seize Russian ships and sell plundered Russian property. This is piracy and robbery. If such actions are taken, Russia will have to respond with equivalent measures. Russia will respond in the waters where these attempts are made, including any waters within the responsibility area of the Pacific Fleet. (CCTV reporter Wang Delu)
