Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Friday that moves by Finland and Sweden to join
NATO were part of an increase in military threats near Russia's western
borders, and it was taking "adequate countermeasures".
In a speech, Shoigu also said the United States had stepped
up strategic bomber flights in recent years, sent warships to the Baltic Sea
and intensified training exercises in the region with its NATO partners.
He said Russia would respond by forming 12 units and
divisions in its western military district, and that it was working to improve
the combat strength of its troops.
"Tension continues to grow in the zone of
responsibility of the Western Military District. We are taking adequate
countermeasures," Shoigu said.
Finland and Sweden formally applied to join the Western
defence alliance NATO on Wednesday.
President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Swedish and
Finnish NATO membership posed no threat to Russia, but cautioned that Moscow
would respond if the alliance boosted military infrastructure in the two
countries.
