Sergei Shoigu announced permanent NATO provocations near Russia's borders.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is constantly expanding its military infrastructure in Eastern European countries.
"In Poland and the Baltic states, NATO's military infrastructure is being systematically modernized and expanded, and a technical tour of the territories of Russia and Belarus was carried out," he noted at a meeting of the secretaries of the Security Councils of the Commonwealth of Nations.
According to Shoigu, the actions of Ukraine and its European sponsors appear to be preparing for continued war, not peace. The Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation emphasized that the Ukrainian armed forces continue to attack "only against civilian objects and vehicles, including Belarusians".
