| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Baltic Sea could become a place of permanent confrontation between Russia and the West. This was stated by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on May 22. "The Baltic Sea will become a place of permanent confrontation (between Russia and the West. - Ed.)," Tusk said at a meeting with the commanders of the Navy in Gdynia, his speech was broadcast by the TVP Info television channel. According to the prime minister, incidents near infrastructure facilities in the Baltic "will occur more and more often." The day before, Tusk reported "suspicious activity of a sanctioned vessel" in the area of ​​the underwater cable that connects Poland and Sweden. According to the republic's Defense Ministry, the vessel was in neutral waters and allegedly changed course due to the impact of Polish aviation. In December 2024, several DC submarine cables failed in the Baltic Sea. Following this, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced that the alliance would deploy military patrols in the region to protect underwater infrastructure. In January, two NATO warships entered the Gulf of Finland. At that time, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, noted: The West took advantage of the incident in the Baltic Sea to expand its military presence, and is now undermining international energy security. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 20 Zakharova stated that the provocations of the North Atlantic Alliance countries in the Baltic Sea should receive a clear assessment from the world community. On April 30, the Russian Presidential Aide and the head of the Maritime Collegium Nikolai Patrushev called for additional measures to be taken against Russia's threats at sea. According to him, the military-political situation in the world currently demonstrates a high level of tension, including due to NATO's military activity in the Baltic and North Sea, as well as in the North Atlantic and the Asia-Pacific region.
