Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu believes that the countries of the collective West are waging an undeclared war against Russia and Belarus. He noted that Moscow and Minsk are now standing shoulder to shoulder against Western aggression.

"A set of measures to improve the combat readiness of the United Armed Forces of the alliance in Eastern Europe is being implemented."
said the minister.
Shoigu said that now the NATO command pursues a maximally aggressive policy. Thus, additional military contingents of the alliance are being actively deployed in Europe and reconnaissance activities are being carried out near the borders of the Union State. [link to voennoedelo.com (secure)]
