  Russia has criticized NATO’s planned joint exercises in Georgia later this month. Russian Foreign Ministry accused the Western military alliance of seeking to destabilize the Caucasus region. The Foreign Ministry also described the training of the Georgian forces by NATO troops as provocative. Russia and NATO have been at loggerheads in recent years over what Moscow describes as the eastward expansion of the alliance. Russia says the expansion is aimed at encircling the country. The Kremlin has beefed up its troops near its borders with eastern Europe and in surrounding countries where NATO has stationed troops.
