Munich Conference: Russia owns 78 thousand troops at the border. How do we prevent it?

Relations with Russia and the so-called Russian-called “” will be the main topics of Munich's 54th Security Conference, which will be held on 16-18 February. Russia, like previous years, will be represented by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

During a press conference last Thursday, Ischinger compared the Russian forces' report to the west of the country and the number of NATO forces near Russian borders. The security conference's chairman included these in “Mynih Security Report 2018”, prepared by the US Analytic Centre “Rand Corp”.

A “Russian threat” invented and exaggerated, this report was published in the daily “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung under the title “in a dramatic “minority.

The main point is the potential Russian “operation on the territory of the Western military region.” Analysts from the German newspaper say that since 2014, NATO has its own battalions in Poland and in the Baltic states, as well as the US Brigade of a total of 32,000 soldiers, reports “Venestinet”, Periscopi broadcast.

But, it says in the same text, that such an army would not be enough to oppose a much larger Russian army, which in the region has 78,000 troops along the border without counting on the military air force.

According to Ischinger, these figures are for reflection. Asked by “Sputnik”, how realistic the Russian side is to attack the east wing of NATO, Ischinger replied that “has nothing to do with the first attack”, but “um is a cause for concern”.

The “is a imbalance that cannot prevent the increasing instability and, in the event of conflict, this instability will grow further. ”/Periscopi/
