MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia has sufficient technical and other means to ensure security in any scenario, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said on Friday.
"We have enough technical means and other means to ensure our safety in any development of the situation and in any scenario. And we can see that these are the tests of the Oreshnik, the reliance on our nuclear forces, and the emergence of new technologies in the arsenal of our armed forces, which allows us to be confident that our defence capability and our security will be 100 percent guaranteed," Grushko told the Rossiya 24 channel.
NATO will test the scheme of deployment of forces in Europe in 2025 to inflict strategic defeat on Russia, the official said.
"It is clear that NATO today, in 2025, will aim to test the new architecture of force deployment that has been implemented in recent years in an effort to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia," Grushko said.
Russia and NATO do not have channels of interaction, the official said, adding that NATO knows that, if necessary, it can contact Moscow via the Foreign or Defence Ministries.
He further stated that Russia will do everything to protect its interests in the Baltic Sea.

"The use of terms such as 'control' [by NATO] is another example of NATO's dreams of turning the Baltic Sea into an inland lake, as they like to say in public. But this is not going to happen for many reasons. And one of the main things is that the Russia will not allow this. We will do everything necessary to ensure that our interests, both in the water area and in the Baltic Sea region as a whole, are reliably protected and protected. This concerns the military component," Grushko emphasised.

Russia is closely following the steps of NATO and its plans, the official said.
"These NATO plans have no prospects. We want the Baltic Sea to be a sea of cooperation, a sea of interaction, a sea through which trade is carried out, trade routes have been running for centuries," Grushko stressed.
Ten ships that NATO countries had deployed to the Baltic Sea as part of operation Baltic Sentry would hardly be able to control anything, the official said, urging to closely monitor the "rhetoric of Russia's enemies. "As for the definition of specific measures, they will need to be determined taking into account the activity that will be developed by NATO or individual NATO countries in the waters of the Baltic Sea," Grushko said.
