The head of the Federation Council Commission on information policy Alexei Pushkov commented on the appearance of groups of ships belonging to NATO countries in the Barents sea, drawing attention to the meaninglessness of existence the North Atlantic Alliance in the context of pandemic coronavirus.
“a Couple of months NATO languishing in idleness – and finally! Military vessels of the US and Britain entered the Barents sea, close to the borders of Russia. Norway to participate in the exercise refused, deeming them unnecessary and dangerous. In a pandemic NATO only re-emphasizes their absurdity,” wrote Pushkov in his Twitter.
Previously, the Northern fleet took to support a group of NATO ships in the Barents sea. Later, the US Sixth fleet published photos of ships of NATO, approaching the borders of Russia in the Barents sea.
