Petr Pavel, head of NATO\u2019s Military Committee, told the Associated Press in an interview Saturday that NATO is increasing efforts to re-establish the military-to-military communications with Russia to avoid any \u201cunintended consequences of potential incidents during the exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defense chiefs of NATO member countries were holding their annual conference this year in the Albanian capital of Tirana to discuss fighting terrorism, the situation in the Western Balkans and the new U.S. strategy on Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Zapad war games, being conducted this year mostly in Belarus, run until Sept. 20 and reportedly involve 5,500 Russian and 7,200 Belarusian troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite assurances from Moscow that \u201cNATO is not considered as an enemy\u201d and that \u201cthe exercise is not aimed at NATO,\u201d Pavel said Russians have not been transparent about the facts of the exercises. He says the number of troops in the exercises \u2014 which the Russians say is about 12,700 \u2014 could actually be between 70,000 to 100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll together, what we see is a serious preparation for big war,\u201d he told The Associated Press. \u201cWhen we only look at the exercise that is presented by Russia there should be no worry. But when we look it in the big picture, we have to be worried, because Russia was not transparent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two weeks ago Pavel met in person with the Russian military\u2019s General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, had a phone call with Gerasimov at the beginning of Zapad 17. Pavel said it was \u201cmainly focused on transparency and risk reduction and avoidance of unintended consequences of potential incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have high concentration of troops in the Baltics. We have a high concentration of troops in the Black Sea and potential for an incident may be quite high because of a human mistake, because of a technology failure,\u201d said Pavel said. \u201cWe have to be sure that such an unintended incident will not escalate into conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Military Committee offers consensus-based advice on how the alliance can best meet global security challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3098\" height=\"2049\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17257572829844.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17257572829844.jpg.jpg 3098w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17257572829844.jpg.jpg?resize=300,198 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17257572829844.jpg.jpg?resize=768,508 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17257572829844.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,677 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17257572829844.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1016 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17257572829844.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1355 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3098px) 100vw, 3098px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Russian military helicopter flies over a training ground at an undisclosed location in Belarus on Sept. 12, 2017.
