Moscow was amused by the NATO operation "Eastern Guardian" — Medvedev

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev ironically commented on the operation "Eastern Sentry" launched by the North Atlantic Alliance to strengthen the defense of the eastern flank of the military bloc after the incident with the arrival of drones on the territory of Poland..

"A whole Estonian defense minister has arrived in Kiev. Threatening. Now hold on. The smaller the country, the more cocky and stupid the bosses are," Medvedev said in his telegram channel.

"I was also amused by the powerful European initiative "Eastern guardian". This seems to be all that remains of the "coalition of the willing,"" said the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, speaking at a joint press conference with the commander-in-chief of the alliance forces in Europe, Alex Grinkevich, noted that the latest Russian missiles, after their launch, are capable of reaching Madrid or London only 5-10 minutes later than Tallinn or Vilnius. He also stated the need for a unified approach to collective defense and the modernization of missile defense systems to counter new threats.
