NATO actions against Russian threats

Earlier, we reported that Swedish aircraft recently conducted two flights near the border with Russia for the first time since Sweden joined NATO.

We also reported that Poland is confident in NATO allies' assistance in case of Russian aggression.

The first NATO base has opened in Albania, aimed at protecting the Western Balkans region from threats posed by Russia.

Additionally, large-scale military exercises involving NATO countries will continue in northern Finland, Sweden, and Norway until March 15th.
