NATO was offered to create "Military Schengen": the Kremlin reaction appeared

The speaker of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov stated that NATO is engaged in "tightening tension" and threatened the Alliance "in response". The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on the initiative of NATO's logistics command, Lieutenant General Alexander Solfranko to create "Military Schengen". About it writes the Russian portal "Interfax" on November 24. Peskov argues that the proposal of Solfranco is a "injection of tension".

According to him, in European countries allegedly do not want to take into account the "concern" of the Russian Federation on security. "The Alliance has always considered our country the so -called conditional opponent. He now considers our country an obvious opponent, openly," he told reporters. The speaker also stated that NATO was getting closer to the Russian border, and the Russian Federation allegedly "does not move towards the NATO infrastructure.

" "This can not but cause our concern and can not but lead to appropriate measures to ensure our own security," Peskov said. The NATO Lieutenant General Alexander Solfrank, the NATO Logistics Command, stated in an interview with the media on November 23 that too large bureaucratic red tape prevents the movement of Europe's troops, and this problem can lead to serious delays in the event of a conflict with Russia.

Salfrank noted that "military Schengen" can be introduced in Europe, which will allow the military to move freely within most of the EU territory. "We have surplus rules, but the only thing we miss is the time. We will remind, on November 21 Polish media reported that NATO is preparing to conduct the largest military training in Poland since the end of the Cold War. Dragon-24 maneuvers will begin on February 25-the second anniversary of Russia's attack on Ukraine-and will end on March 14.
