Putin Warns of NATO Expansion Risks
Russian President Vladimir Putin affirmed that the Pacific Fleet exercises are essential to strengthening Russia's military presence in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as maintaining combat readiness and national security. These drills, which began on August 4 and involve around 60 ships and submarines, 30 helicopters and drones, and over 13,000 military personnel, are part of the fleet’s combat readiness preparations and aim to enhance its capabilities in the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. Putin also noted that NATO's increasing influence in the region raises the likelihood of conflicts, and he arrived in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to participate in the final stage of the exercises.
