NATO is creeping into the Pacific region, driving up the potential for conflict there, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

"We see that conflict potential here [in the Pacific region] is, regrettably, on the rise. NATO is creeping into the region, new military-political blocs are being created, and new weapons systems – both already deployed and planned for deployment – are posing threats to our country," Putin said.
