NATO is increasing its military presence in the Atlantic and Arctic regions. This is the first phase of the major military exercise "Steadfast Defender 2024", which will last until mid-March. From mid-February to the end of May, military personnel from the Arctic and the Eastern Flank will also be trained. Nearly 90,000 military personnel are participating in the exercise.

Let us remind you that yesterday Putin landed in Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave that is sandwiched between two NATO members Poland and Lithuania. Since he came to Kaliningrad from the far east of Siberia, he had to fly about 6,500 km, and at one point NATO raised nine planes because of Putin.
