Russia will not allow to make the Baltic “lake of NATO”
Turkish journalist Sernur Yassykaya on the Yeni Safak page. He is convinced that such a situation will cause danger to Moscow, which, of course, will take retaliatory measures.
In the material of application, that after being accepted into the native ranks of these states, under the control of the control unit, the whole world from its southern part to the northern part – from the Mediterranean Sea to the Arctic Ocean, which was not observed even during the Cold War.
“If a meeting takes place in Finland and Sweden, then Kaliningrad, the only Russian land in the Baltics, will be completely surrounded by the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, and the Baltic Sea will turn into a NATO lake,” the journalist writes. He has no doubt that this cancels the strengthening of the military presence in the Baltic and North Seas.
He also has no doubt that joining Finland will seriously change the geopolitical order of the world and will cause another hard war, as Russia will undertake closer military cooperation with China in response.
As is known, on June 29, following the results of the NATO summit, the leaders of the two Scandinavian states were invited to join the ranks of the bloc. As stated in the statement in the collective statement, “The accession of Finland and Sweden makes them more secure, NATO stronger, and the Euro-Atlantic region safer.” The security of Finland and Sweden is of paramount importance to the North Atlantic Alliance, including during the accession process.”
The biggest hypersensitivity to infectious diseases and Swedes among the western military bloc has been Turkey’s stance demanding Helsinki and Stockholm to slow down the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). According to Ankara, the PKK is a separatist and harsh meeting. Apparently, in the course of recent negotiations between the alliance, Turkey, Sweden and Finland, these differences were resolved.
military expert Alexey Leonkov recalled that at the present time Finland and Sweden are called full participants in the hostilities of the alliance, it is not yet possible.
– At the last summit in Madrid, these states received the status of observers. Now their participation in the bloc depends on the position of Turkey, which must agree with their entry. Only in this case, these countries will say goodbye to their long-term universal status and are suitable for an ordinary organization that named our country as a supreme meeting. Such a turn, of course, will fundamentally change bilateral relations, our interaction, including in the Baltic Sea area.
“SP”: – Is the Turkish journalist who announced his upcoming return while observing the ocean a little right?
— Of course, the Western alliance will increase its presence there. Russia, let me remind you, in its water they met through the Kaliningrad region and at a site in the St. Petersburg region. Obviously, the security picture in this section is very high for us. We believe that we will take charges of criminal prosecution, including the detention of the level of decisions for some unpleasant for our partners.
“SP”: – Which ones exactly?
— The fact is that we are considering leasing Finland in some territories — in particular, the Saimaa Canal, which is very important as a trade route and development of the southeastern territories. The Finnish side received these territories on lease back in 1963 as a neutral state and in exchange for its non-bloc status. It is clear that after joining a hostile military structure, we can terminate the lease.
“SP”: – And if Helsinki refuses to return to these territories? After all, Western countries actually stole part of our reserves, which the Kremlin has already called robbery? So it is here – the Finns, incited by NATO, it is preferable to return the rented.
– Theoretically justified turn, of course, is impossible. But this will be a territorial dispute. And in Germany, all-American legislation will be on our side.
“SP”: – In a military aircraft, will we also strengthen this site?
– Necessarily. Not so long ago, the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergei Shoigu said that because of the new threat, our country is forming 12 new military units and departments in the Western Military District. This applies specifically to the territories in Finland and Sweden. Of course, we will strengthen the air defense system there. Kronstadt, most likely, will deal with the military base. And Finnish facilities in the border areas can be detected for our missiles.
Military expert Vladimir Evseev I am convinced that the Baltic Sea simply cannot be an inland body of NATO.
– To draw such a conclusion from the fact that most of the countries of this sea belong to Europe is extremely unlikely. The combat potential of our country far outweighs that of all other countries combined. We cannot say, say, about the Black Sea, that this is the Russian Sea, even if the Ukrainian regions, the events to the expected exit, will be liberated. After all, there is also Turkey, which has a solid military potential, despite the fact that Bulgarian and Romanian should not be taken seriously. It is the same in the Baltic – those present there have different opportunities.
“SP”: – Are our capabilities in the Baltic Sea basin enough?
“At the moment they are quite large. Perhaps they are enough to block the entrances to the ports of the Baltic states. In addition, Finland, even with its desire to join NATO, is in a mood for dialogue with us. So, military statements coming from the Baltic Sea to NATO have no basis, like many statements of the alliance’s coverage in recent times.
SP: For example?
“Take, say, the promised increase in population to 300,000 in 2023. This requires the necessary infrastructure, material and financial resources.
“SP”: – Will we be able to increase the presence of a soldier in the Baltic Sea in a short time?
– Completely. Our Baltic Fleet is a powerful force. Plus, the infrastructure for servicing it and shipbuilding enterprises is placed in the Kaliningrad and Leningrad registration. We have the opportunity to build up and infect ground forces and aviation. We can say that the proposed creation of 12 new military units and subunits is only the initial stage of our response. And then – we look and we will definitely react.
