We are ready to fight and win if we have to - the commander of Eucom, General Philip Breedlove - added a few hours ago from Riga our capacity will expand from a guarantee to a deterrent.
"In the east and in the north we are facing a resurgent and aggressive Russia. Moscow will continue to try to extend its influence over its periphery and beyond. Starting next spring, we will have a fully operational armored brigade in rotation. to receive the support of the other allies. We do not violate any agreement with the Russians. We have no permanent troops, but only brigades in constant rotation. "
