NATO Forces land on Russian borders sparking anger in Kremlin

MOSCOW: The first group of German and Belgian troops has arrived in Lithuania as part of a NATO move to reinforce its eastern flank.

Apart from the German-led battalion in Lithuania, Canada will lead a multinational battalion in Latvia, Britain in Estonia and the US in Poland.

The NATO operation has sparked anger in the Kremlin, which insists that the US-led alliance is trying to encircle Russia.
