Russian Embassy in Washington Says US Military Exercises in Estonia Provocative, Dangerous
02:23 GMT 01.09.2020 (Updated: 10:37 GMT 25.08.2022) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The Russian Embassy in Washington called the US military drills in Estonia, underway 1-10 September, provocative and dangerous.
"We drew attention to messages, including in The Washington Times with anti-Russian assertions, and media support to the exercises of the US and Estonian Armed Forces taking place from 1 September to 10 September using multiple launch rocket systems in the immediate vicinity of the Russian borders – 70 mi (110 km)", it said on Facebook.
"The Russian Federation has repeatedly offered to the United States and its allies to limit training activities and to divert exercise areas from the line of contact between Russia and NATO. We consider the actions of the US Armed Forces in Estonia provocative and extremely dangerous for regional stability", the embassy added.
The embassy said it would like to know what signal NATO wanted to send Moscow by this.
"Why is this demonstrative saber-rattling? What signal do NATO members want to send us? Who is actually fueling tensions in Europe? And all this is taking place in the context of an aggravated political situation in that region of the European continent. Rhetorical question: how would the Americans react if such shooting were carried out by our military near the US borders?" the Facebook post read.
