Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that NATO is "constantly moving with its military infrastructure towards our border" and claimed Russia is not approaching its border with NATO allies. "This cannot but cause our concern and cannot but lead to retaliatory measures to ensure our own security," he warned.
Peskov also commented on remarks made by NATO official Alexander Sollfrank, who called for a "military Schengen," a free-movement zone across the alliance. "The alliance has always considered our country a so-called conditional enemy, now it considers our country an obvious enemy, openly, but this is nothing more than escalating tension in Europe, which has its consequences," Peskov said.
