Amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, a senior Kremlin official says Russia will adjust its military doctrine in response to NATO plans to boost its presence in Eastern Europe. The deputy head of the National Security Council, Mikhail Popov, has accused the Western military alliance of ratcheting up tensions by boosting its military presence near Russias borders. The official added that the US is planning to deploy heavy weaponry and military hardware, including tanks and armored vehicles in Estonia and other Baltic states. He noted that the move is indicative of the US and NATO desire to continue their policy of aggravating tensions with Russia. He termed the US missile system plan in Eastern Europe as another threat to Russias security.
