NATO admits it has beefed up defences in the Baltic region since Russia seized Ukraine’s Crimea peninsular in March.

KYIV/Ukraine in Arabic/ NATO has released a second fact sheet as it continued to spit barbs with Russia, with each blasting the other for Europe's current chaotic state.

Each claimed the other triggered the provocation that resulted to the slew of "threats and hostile actions" that started as far back more than 25 years. NATO's been accused of conducting military drills in Europe and in the Baltics, which the world's most powerful military alliance claimed was being done because of Russia's incursion into eastern Ukraine and its dreams of conquering the region.

U.S. Ambassador Douglas Lute pointed to “multiple incidents” in which Russian military planes have failed to properly communicate, making it difficult for civilian air authorities to track their movements.
