The Russian President said that the country must be prepared for any developments.
Vladimir Putin gave a speech during the start of the active phase of the Okean-2024 exercises.
The head of state noted that the Russian Armed Forces must respond quickly not only to a breakthrough of the land border.
But also to keep other areas under control, including in the ocean and sea zone, RIA Novosti reports.
Putin pointed out that the United States and its allies are increasing their presence in the Asia-Pacific region (APR).
Here Washington is already preparing to deploy missiles. The President emphasized that the US is trying with all its might to maintain military and political dominance in the world.
To achieve this, the United States is destroying the established security architecture and imposing its own order on countries in Europe and Asia.
Putin noted that the situation in the Asia-Pacific region resembles the beginning of an “arms race.”
