In an angry tone, Russia has questioned the establishment of a NATO regional naval command headquarters at the German Navy base in Rostock, according to media reports.
The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the German ambassador to Moscow on Tuesday to protest the creation of the NATO naval command headquarters in the northern city of Rostock.
The ministry stated in a press release that Moscow is taking this action as part of a "gradual revision of the outcomes of World War II and the militarization of the country."

"This constitutes a flagrant violation of the spirit and letter of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, dated September 12, 1990 (the '2+4 Treaty'), particularly Article 5, Paragraph 3, which obliges Germany to prevent the deployment of foreign troops on the territory of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR)," the statement emphasized.
Earlier on Monday, NATO officially inaugurated a new naval command center in Rostock, which the military alliance claimed would be used to coordinate its operations in the Baltic Sea.
The Russian Foreign Ministry demanded "immediate and comprehensive explanations from Berlin," likening the situation to the re-militarization of the Rhineland by Germany in 1936 in violation of the Treaty of Versailles.
According to the statement, both European politicians and their supporters in Washington appear to suffer from "historical amnesia," ignoring the devastation caused by the tacit approval of Paris and London for Hitler's actions in the 20th century, driven by hostility toward the Soviet Union.
"In this historical context, former Western allies of the anti-Hitler coalition not only approved the violation of a fundamental international agreement by Berlin, but also became direct participants in this violation," the Russian Ministry added.
The statement concluded with a warning that the expansion of NATO's military infrastructure in the former GDR would have serious consequences and would not go unanswered by Russia.

Russian missiles with nuclear warheads in Kaliningrad?
Russia is likely to relocate Iskander-M missiles, equipped with nuclear warheads, to the Kaliningrad enclave bordering Poland and Lithuania as a retaliation, aiming to provoke Germany and NATO.
Officials from U.S. intelligence agencies have reported this scenario as highly probable on several occasions, emphasizing that Moscow will express its dissatisfaction with NATO in this specific manner.
The nuclear thermometer in Eastern Europe is expected to hit red due to Moscow's decision to further reinforce the Leningrad military district with such weapons.
