We are standing just before the fatal mistake.
NATO once again confirms that it is not a defensive alliance but a provocative offensive alliance which, after being defeated in Ukraine, is trying through safe diversions to get its revenge.
NATO is planning a naval blockade of Russia, but NATO generals warn that, as an army and as an alliance, we are in terrible shape.
Meanwhile, the Americans of NATO, who have clearly distanced themselves from European NATO, state unequivocally: "Russia is making daily progress in the conflict in Ukraine and has outflanked the entire West."
NATO countries plan naval blockade of Russia, have turned the Baltic Arctic region into a barracks
NATO countries are drawing up plans for a partial or full naval blockade of Russia and are placing the Baltic Arctic region on a “barracks footing,” stated Ambassador Nikolai Korchunov in Oslo, Norway.
“The countries of the Alliance, NATO, including Norway, are literally turning the Baltic Arctic region into a ‘barracks state,’ placing their ‘sentinels’ everywhere (NATO operations Baltic Sentinel, Eastern Sentinel, Arctic Sentinel) and restricting freedom of navigation in violation of international law.”
The ambassador added that NATO countries have a clear objective: they are developing plans for a partial or full naval blockade of Russia.
Nikolai Patrushev (Russia): NATO failed to defeat Russia
The assistant to the President of Russia and Chairman of the Naval Board, Nikolai Patrushev, stated that the West, having failed to defeat Russia on the battlefield, is focusing its efforts on economic warfare, primarily on blocking maritime shipping.
According to Russia, the European Union had launched the Baltic Guardian mission to block the Baltic Sea to Russian commercial vessels.
Nikolai Patrushev emphasized that a blockade mission could be deployed at any moment. He warned of military provocations that are planned and already underway, which the Russian Navy is thwarting.
According to Nikolai Patrushev, the EU understands that the majority of Russian seaborne foreign trade cargo flows through northwestern Russia and has therefore begun a real hunt against vessels flying its flag, as well as foreign ships carrying Russian cargo.
The Russian Baltic Fleet has the mission of protecting Russia’s economic zone.
It prevents illegal industrial activities and ensures safe navigation.
Its mission also includes the implementation of government foreign policy initiatives in economically important regions of the world’s oceans (visits, business calls, joint exercises, operations within peacekeeping forces, and others).
Russian Embassy: NATO’s Arctic Sentinel operation in the Arctic has a dramatic impact
The increased presence of NATO in the Arctic could have a dramatic impact on the situation in the region, stated the Russian Embassy in Denmark, commenting on NATO’s Arctic Sentinel operation.
NATO’s Allied Command Europe stated on 11 February that the alliance launched the Arctic Sentinel operation to strengthen its presence in the region.
“The strengthening of NATO’s military presence at high latitudes under the slogan of confronting Russia and China could constitute a turning point in the development of the situation in this part of the world.”
Peaceful mechanisms of cooperation in the Arctic have been destroyed
All peaceful mechanisms of cooperation in the Arctic are being deliberately destroyed, and the work of the Arctic Council has effectively been blocked, stated Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko.
“All peaceful mechanisms of cooperation are being deliberately destroyed, and the work of the Arctic Council, which was the main international platform for managing the situation in the Arctic and establishing cooperation, has effectively been blocked.
In this region, international cooperation is more necessary than ever,” stated Alexander Grushko.
He stressed that all of this was an artificial project of NATO and the European Union, aimed at demonizing Russia and militarizing the region, and that the Arctic itself has become a field of confrontation not only with the Russian Federation, but also with China.
Matthew Whitaker (US at NATO): Russia is making daily progress in the conflict in Ukraine
The US Permanent Representative to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, admitted that Russia is making daily progress in Ukraine.
“You know, every day, obviously, the Russians are making small, incremental gains,” he said at the Munich Security Conference.
Russian President Putin previously stated that the situation in the war zone is changing dramatically, with movements taking place along the entire front line.
Russian forces are liberating territory “by square kilometers.”
He also repeatedly expressed confidence that all the objectives of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, set for the Russian army, will be achieved.
NATO’s Hedgehog 2025 exercises in Estonia were completely terrible
A NATO commander summarized the Hedgehog 2025 exercises, in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces participated, with the phrase “everything has been destroyed,” reports the Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous sources and Estonian Lieutenant Colonel Arbo Probal.
“Several sources mentioned a NATO commander who, after observing the exercises, concluded: ‘We are completely terrible,’” reports the Wall Street Journal.
A Wall Street Journal journalist contacted Colonel Arbo Probal for comment.
He explained that the objective of the event was “to force participants to critically examine their own actions.”
“In my opinion, the objective was achieved,” he concluded.
The Wall Street Journal notes that the exercises revealed serious tactical deficiencies and vulnerabilities in high intensity combat operations involving drones.
The exercise, named Hedgehog 2025, took place in May 2025 in Estonia, although details of the maneuvers had not been previously published.
More than 16.000 soldiers from 12 NATO member countries participated, training together with Ukrainian drone specialists and soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
NATO’s Mark Rutte in frenzy: “I intend to attack”
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that NATO’s response would be devastating if Russia blocks the Suwalki Gap.
He added that NATO is working on a “broad range of scenarios.”
On 13 February, The National Interest reported that Poland and Lithuania announced plans to create a training ground in the Suwalki Gap, near the Kaliningrad Region.
Lithuania has already allocated 100 million euros for the creation of a new brigade level training ground in Kapčiamiestis, in the heart of the Suwalki Gap.
Nikolai Patrushev, assistant to the Russian President and Chairman of the Naval Board, stated that any military intervention in the region would be met with an immediate and devastating response, using all available forces and means defined by Moscow’s military doctrine and the principles of state policy in the field of nuclear deterrence.
The Suwalki Gap is a strip approximately 100 kilometers long on the border between Lithuania and Poland, also bordering Russia’s Kaliningrad Region and Belarus.
