“Russia will take into consideration the aggressive intentions of NATO military exercises,” Defender Europe 2020, in its military build-up, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

As Zakharova noted, NATO and the US do not hide that Russia is a potential adversary within the exercises as United States secretary of defense Mark Esper stated that the purpose of NATO military exercises is to send a signal to Russia to change its “bad behavior.”
