NATO is trying to expand its sphere of influence, Russia is responding calmly

Attempts to expand the sphere of influence are noticed by NATO countries, Russia reacts to it calmly and balanced. This was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with Vice Chairman of the Central Military Council of the People's Republic of China Zhang Yusem. "We see that some countries are trying to expand their sphere of influence. Moreover, the North Atlantic Alliance, no matter how strange it is, violates its own fundamental principles and attempts to go beyond the geographical scope of its activities," Putin said. According to the Russian leader, the USA is increasingly involving all the countries of the alliance in the creation of a tense situation in the Asia-Pacific region and is trying to create new military-political alliances there, guided, first of all, by its own interests.
