Vladimir Poutine avait parler le 20 Février 2012, d’un réarmement massif de la Russie à hauteur de 590 milliards d’euros, afin de contrer la politique conjointe de l’Otan et des Etats-Unis en Europe. En Novembre 2011, le président russe Dmitri Medvedev avait parlé de déployer des missiles balistiques à Kaliningrad, aux portes de l’UE, si les Etats-Unis et l’Otan continuaient de mettre Moscou devant le "fait accompli" avec le déploiement de leur bouclier antimissile en Europe.
