Vladimir Putin has reiterated that Russia is not planning to attack a NATO country. At the same time, he issued a clear warning: If the West delivered F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, they would become a target for its armed forces.
The start of the Ukraine War in February 2022 triggered the most serious crisis in Russia's relations with the West since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Putin: The idea that Russia will “attack any other country” is “complete nonsense” and serves “the sole purpose of intimidating the population and sending even more money to Ukraine”
