The North Atlantic Alliance intends to increase its activity in West Africa and Central Asia. According to Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin, this is necessary to combat the Islamic State group (IS, banned in the Russian Federation, recognized as a terrorist organization.) "Our discussions today [at the meeting] about West Africa and Central Asia will focus on expanding our efforts to counter the main branches of the Islamic State," he told reporters upon arrival at a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels.
