Navy Policing should be established in the Baltic Sea. This was stated by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on November 27.

He recalled Air Policing - airspace control, in which Polish fighter jets participate. According to him, this means "makes countries safer".

"I will persuade our partners to immediately develop a similar formula when it comes to control and security in Baltic waters, to 'naval patrols' of countries that are located on the Baltic Sea," Reuters quoted Tusk as saying.

Earlier, on November 26, Russian Federal Security Service Director Alexander Bortnikov said that NATO is being introduced into the Arctic and Baltic regions at an accelerated pace. In addition, the alliance is trying to expand its combat capabilities in the Black Sea and gain access to the Caspian Sea. According to Bortnikov, the military threat from NATO is steadily increasing.

On November 13, it became known about the official opening of a U.S. missile defense base in Poland. On the same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called it an attempt to contain Russia's capabilities. He noted that such actions are a confirmation that Russian President Vladimir Putin is right about the plans that continue to be implemented.

In addition, Putin, speaking at the plenary session of the Valdai Club on November 7, called NATO the only remaining bloc in the world and a "blatant anachronism." He noted that the alliance, which has lost relevance, violates international norms and its own principles.

The West regularly stirs up hysteria among the citizens of its countries, warning of an allegedly imminent war with Russia. The Russian leader has repeatedly stated that nothing of the sort is in the country's plans.
