[HIGHLIGHTS] Russia reacts to major NATO maneuvers – and threatens “tragic consequences”

Russia reacts to major NATO maneuvers – and threatens “tragic consequences”. In 2024, the defense alliance started its largest military exercise in decades.

Around 90,000 soldiers will simulate a hypothetical attack on alliance territory. The exercise will last until the end of May and includes individual exercises stretching from North America to NATO's eastern flank near the Russian border. Russia recently reacted sensitively to a NATO exercise near its own border. A spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry in Moscow now warned of “Tragic consequences.”
