Boris Gryzlov announced a growing threat to the western borders of the Union state. According to the Russian ambassador to Belarus, this is a consequence of the policy that the United States and its allies have pursued for decades. He explained that we are talking about expanding NATO to the east, increasing the military presence on our borders and destroying arms control agreements. Gryzlov spoke about this in an interview with National Defense magazine. The Russian ambassador emphasized that considering the West's provocative line towards Moscow and Minsk, additional steps were taken to strengthen the common defense and security space of the Union state. "Our defense potential includes a regional grouping of soldiers, a joint patrol of the air borders of the Union state, a unified regional air defense system and a number of other components," explained Boris Gryzlov.
