[Regnum] With the help of new NATO members Sweden and Finland, the West is trying to deprive Russia of access to the Baltic Sea. This was stated by the Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev.
“NATO continues to increase its naval presence in geopolitically significant areas of the World Ocean, including in the waters of the oceans and seas adjacent to the territory of the Russian Federation,” Patrushev said in an interview with Izvestia.
In addition, Western countries are actively implementing a strategy of constraining Russia in the Black Sea. Here, NATO intends to increase its presence in violation of the Montreux Convention. In order to increase their influence in the World Ocean, the US and its allies ignore other international agreements, the presidential aide added.
As reported by IA Regnum, according to the British newspaper The Financial Times, NATO plans to use Sweden if there is a conflict with Russia. An unnamed source of the publication noted that the territory of the kingdom is well suited as a logistics hub for the transfer of alliance forces to the Baltics.
Sweden and Finland applied to join NATO in May 2022. Finland was accepted into the alliance in April 2023, while Turkey and Hungary opposed Sweden's accession. Ankara subsequently dropped its claims against Sweden, and Hungary was the last to approve its accession to the alliance; the parliament ratified the application on February 26.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called it surprising how quickly Finland and Sweden abandoned the neutrality that had earned them a reputation for decades and decided to join NATO. He stressed that Russia would definitely respond to this, deploying additional weapons in the Moscow and Leningrad military districts that would meet the new challenges.
