Maria Zakharova -- NATO military exercises in Georgia nurtures militarist mood

“We cannot agree with the statement of Ministry of Defense of Georgia that these exercises are aimed at ensuring security in the Black Sea region. Stability and security are constructive dialogue and not helicopters and tanks,” Maria Zakharova, Spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of Russia said.

Spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of Russia said that “the real purpose of these exercises is to demonstrate forceful pressure, first of all over South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Russia.” “Moscow expresses regret that Georgia’s neighbors are involved in these trainings under various pretexts,” she added.

Multinational exercise “Noble Partner 2018” opened on August 1 and will end on August 15.
