NATO says will keep a close eye on Russian manoeuvres, urges transparency
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday the alliance would closely watch Moscow’s military exercises in Belarus and western Russia next month, urging transparency and a commitment to international agreements.
Stoltenberg spoke in Poland on a visit to check on the deployment of the U.S.-led alliance’s forces in the country’s east.
“We are going to be watching very closely the course of these exercises,” Stoltenberg told journalists after meeting Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo, referring to Russia’s Zapad military manoeuvres planned mid-September.
