【Deputy Russian Defense Minister: The U.S. is Creating a NATO-like Alliance in the Indo-Pacific, Extremely Dangerous】
At 2025 November 1, Kuala Lumpur time, Deputy Minister of the Russian Ministry of Defense Oleg Savelyev stated at the 12th Meeting of Ministers of Defense of ASEAN Member States and Dialogue Partners:
We see that the proactive policies supported by the Western Indo-Pacific Strategy are particularly dangerous, these policies aim to erode, reformat and replace the ASEAN-centered security architecture in the Asia-Pacific region, which has developed over many years, adopting new closed group structures such as AUKUS, Indo-Pacific Quad, Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, SQUAD, JAPHUS, etc. Their activities have led to the emergence of new lines of division and hotbeds of tension in the region. Considering that the military potential of alliances in Asia is being consolidated, we believe that these group structures may soon transform into an Indo-Pacific alliance, directly similar to NATO.
Oleg Savelyev added:
The Russian Ministry of Defense is forced to state the increasingly continuous actions of individual non-regional powers, which do not take into account the interests of all countries, draw lines, as history, including the most recent history, has shown, these lines will eventually become frontlines.
