>Russia’s Deputy Minister of Defence has invited representatives of NATO counties for consultations in Moscow this September. The initiative reportedly aims to improve inflamed relations between the countries. Poland and the Baltic countries have been invited, as have non-NATO members Finland and Sweden.
>Russia wants to improve its relations with NATO countries in Europe.
>Anatoly Antonov, Russia's Deputy Minister of Defence, told the TASS Russian news agency that, ”despite differences of opinion, Russia is ready for constructive conversations about common issues.”
>According to Antonov, the agenda for September's Moscow "consultations" will include the military-political situation in Europe. Antonov says that the meeting’s goal is to reduce shared worries that have arisen over increased military movement near borders.
>Flight security in the Baltic Sea region will also be on the agenda.
>Finland's President Sauli Niinistö raised the issue of military planes flying without transponders in July during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Finland. As the aircraft do not appear on radar, the possibility of hazardous situations or accidents increases.
>NATO-Russia relations have been icy following Russia's illegal annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in the spring of 2014.

subhuman russians finally had enough of starving from sanctions, hopefully nato tells them get the fuck out of ukraine
Hudson Clark
Sweden and Finland are not in Nato so we are cooperating, and Swedes are so traditional they're still cold towards Russia. Of course Russia wants to calm down Sweden so Finland won't go that way. Baltics are a bit afraid of Russia. Finland is the balancing power between these countries.

>The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has warned that Sweden is being subjected to constant disinformation campaigns by Russia and Islamic State.
>Mikael Tofvesson of the MSB told Swedish radio on July 27 that false information about subjects including Nato, immigration and terrorism is spread on a daily basis.
>“This is going on all the time. The pattern now is that they pump out a constant narrative that in some respects is negative for Sweden,” Tofvesson said.
>As reported by The Local, psychological warfare includes a large range of activities intended to affect public opinion and political decision-making. While some disinformation is directly related to Russia, much of it focuses on issues like immigration and terrorism.
>In its annual report last year, the Swedish Security Police, Säpo, said Russian propaganda was intended to “spread pro-Russian messages and to exacerbate worries and create splits in society”.
>From Russian Twitter trolls to supposed independent experts paid by foreign powers to spread their point of view in the media, there are many ways that disinformation can spread, according to MSB. The Russian propaganda channels RT and Sputnik News are also important channels for fake news.
>The MSB is now hiring six new staff members to combat disinformation, and expects to grow further.

I'm honestly starting to wonder if the Russian sphere isn't the place to be for European nations that don't want to commit cultural and demographic suicide.
I mean sure, you'd be under Moscow's heel, but they don't have a problem with preserving national identity.

Luis Perez
Sweden is not a member of NATO.
Jayden Russell
It's been really hard for me realizing that most people will never understand that Putin is not the evil modern hitler
I mean, we keep fucking with them, with Russia, trying to get a leg up with our vast resources in international nuclear potential, by neutralizing their own, and while they build offensive weapons to keep up and stabilize the world our politicians use it as an excuse to demonize russia and get votes
Just listening to Putin's speeches to the international world are extremely eye opening, but the people who hate russia so much cannot even do that
Jayden Hill
It's a member of CSDP.
Luis Phillips
