NATO is amassing troops in countries bordering Russia, Russian Deputy Defense Minister, Colonel General Alexander Fomin, told reporters.
"The NATO member-countries are arming themselves, with troops, heavy and armored vehicles being amassed in the Baltic countries, Poland and other countries under the guise of drills," he said, TASS reported.
According to Fomin, among the countries building up their military presence are the ones that owe a great deal to Russia. "We lost over 600,000 lives for Poland. Now Poland is the key proponent of that plan and is ready to open a base and three command centers on its soil," he added.
