NATO does not consider international exercises in Ukraine a provocation

43
The international exercise "Fast Trident 2014" started in the west of Ukraine. Both military personnel of the Ukrainian army and “guests” from the Baltic states, Poland, the United States of America and other countries take part in the exercises. The Russian Foreign Ministry spoke about the ongoing exercises in Ukraine, where the armistice agreement is at least implemented. The country's foreign policy department said that such exercises put the outlined progress under the peace accords in jeopardy and lead to a further split in Ukraine.

NATO does not consider international exercises in Ukraine a provocation


However, the command of the United States and NATO does not consider the provocation of the exercise in the Lviv region. RIA News quotes the commander-in-chief of the NATO ground forces in Europe, Philip Breedlove:

We hold them annually. We will continue these teachings, it is a little more than a thousand people, 14 countries, the United States represent less 200 people. This concerns the interaction of countries in peace operations. They pass so much in the west of Ukraine that it is almost in Poland: 22 is a kilometer from the Polish border and 1,2 is thousands of kilometers from Donetsk. Yes, the teachings continue, and no, I do not think this is a provocation.


In the United States and NATO, only one exercise is considered provocative - it is exercise conducted by the Russian Federation. They see a mote in another's eye, and logs are not noticed in theirs.

              Learning is learning, and here are some things: smile

              Zaporizhzhya mayor Alexander Sin decided to “surrender” the city to the militia without a fight. He hopes that he will be able to maintain his power in any development of events and has already made an order in one of the ateliers for tailoring flags of the Zaporizhzhya People’s Republic
              flag znr


              In addition, a social statement made public Zaporozhye, in which it is argued that the mayor of Sin urges his people to go to the side of the militia, if the need arises.

      Volunteers of Donbass from the Russian Federation will be equated with the participants in hostilities. The State Duma of the Russian Federation is already preparing a bill.

      A policy of double standards must be constantly rebuffed. The best way is to do the same, referring to their own opinion. It is necessary to conduct our exercises on the border with Ukraine, citing the fact that we conduct them annually. In this case, this is not a NATO exercise, but a disguise for the transfer of weapons, etc., for a new war.

      NATO and the United States do not consider military exercises in Ukraine, where there is a civil war, a provocation.

      NATO and the US also do not consider:
      1. The occupation of Iraq and the assassination of Saddam Hussein by occupation and assassination.
      2. The invasion of Afghanistan and the massacres of civilians by aggression.
      3. The occupation of Libya and the brutal murder of Gaddafi by aggression and murder.
      4. Financing of fascists and military coup in Ukraine by interference in internal affairs
      5. Financing traitors and terrorists in Russia is subversive.

      So maybe we can stop reckoning with the opinions and interests of the United States and NATO?
