NATO is “deliberately stirring up hysteria about the imaginary Russian threat in order to justify its aggressive aspirations,” the propaganda outlet RIA Novosti reported on April 23, citing Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova.
Commenting on the alliance’s allegedly “provocative” military exercises in Finland, Zakharova, who is notorious for making false statements, said that NATO is “actively spreading insinuations about Russia’s plans to attack the bloc’s member states.
On April 16, the press service of the Finnish Armed Forces reported that the country would host a series of military exercises with NATO troops from late April to early June, including some of them taking place near the Russian border.

Mafia land would know all about provocative exercises on the border of other countries, they are the experts at it. We know when the bike is wheeled out to start whining, NATO are doing something right.
NATO exercises are a provocation to ruSSia? I guess the farmers in Finland better start pre-positioning some tractors at the border 😉
an appointed at the Russian Ministry of Defense:
“…the NATO bloc will cease to exist in the format in which it exists today. Most of those states, who today are running after America like mutts, will kneel down and swear an oath to Russia, asking to be accepted into our coalition”
Interdepartmental communication increasingly resembles a mad Orc who has lost control of both arms. Every part of the body does what it wants. I hope the orc eats its own tail soon.
More “provocations”:

“This is confirmed by a video filmed by an eyewitness on a mobile phone camera, which became evidence of the approaching significant assistance from the United States to the military forces of Ukraine.”
I guess this will lead to heads exploding in Moscow! 🖕😈
Luckily invading Ukraine for the 2nd time is not a provocation.
