“In particular, it is a militarization of the European continent, the expansion of US control over political processes in Europe by connecting European states with a membership or various forms of partnership with NATO,” follows from the message.
Valery Reveenko also drew attention to the suspension of the interaction of NATO members with Belarus in the military sphere.
“Evidence of the further militarization of Europe is to maintain a high level of US military presence in the region and the concentration of coalition forces on the” eastern flank “of NATO, including in the immediate vicinity of the borders of Belarus,” the representative of the department said.
