NATO accused Russia on October 26 of misleading the alliance over the scope of its war games last month in violation of rules meant to reduce East-West tensions, but Moscow said NATO was stirring up anti-Russian propaganda.
At a meeting with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S.-led alliance, Alexander Grushko, NATO envoys said that Moscow had given conflicting accounts of the exercises known as Zapad, or “West”, in Belarus, the Baltic Sea, western Russia and its Kaliningrad outpost, diplomats said.
