Evening with Vladimir Solovyov (№ 417445)

The military-political situation in the South-West strategic direction remains difficult. This is largely due to the attempt by a number of foreign states to fix their military presence at the southern and western borders of Russia. The destructive course of the military-political leadership of Ukraine, which seeks to destabilize the situation in Donbass, continues. The United States and NATO continue to conduct provocative activities in the airspace and waters of the Black Sea. The unstable state of affairs is observed in a number of countries in the Middle East region and the Caucasus. The alliance's attempts to resist its normalization are forcing us to take symmetrical measures of strategic containment and building up the combat capabilities of the troops of the southern military district.
