BEIJING — Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu accused the West on Monday (Oct 30) of wanting to expand the conflict in Ukraine to the Asia-Pacific region, Russian state media reported.
Speaking at the Xiangshan Forum, China's biggest military diplomacy conference, Shoigu said the US-led Nato alliance was "covering up the buildup of military force in the Asia-Pacific region with an ostentatious desire for dialogue, imposing alliances and lines of operational interaction on partners," the TASS agency reported.
"The concept of 'indivisibility of security of the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific region' imposed by Westerners is intended to justify the emergence of alliance forces and infrastructure in Asia," Shoigu said. Shoigu said US forces' exchanges of missile launch information with Tokyo and Seoul were intended to deter Russia and China.
