NATO may carry out a different provocation, but this time off the coast of the Kuril Islands, not in the Crimea, said Vesti FM political scientist Yevgeny Satansky. NATO provoked with the help of the British destroyer Defender and now the alliance will try to do the same, but from a different wing.
The Kuril Islands are not as interesting to the West as Crimea, but they are a painful place for Japan, a major ally of the United States in East Asia. In addition, Japan, unlike Ukraine, has a large modern fleet. “And it has more than enough of its own fleet, modern, unlike Ukraine, to navigate the Kuril Islands,” the expert noted.
The expert recommended strengthening the defense of the Kurils and Sakhalins and responding strongly to NATO's provocations.
Recall that the British destroyer Defender entered the territorial waters of Russia for three kilometers, a Russian patrol boat and plane responded. As a result, the destroyer withdrew, but the Ministry of Defense and the United Kingdom Embassy denied the fact of the warning shooting. At the same time, a BBC journalist who was on the destroyer proved otherwise.
