In a series of statements, Russian President Vladimir Putin has vehemently dismissed the notion of Russia engaging in conflict with NATO or launching attacks on European countries, labeling such claims as 'complete nonsense' and 'fear-mongering'. Speaking to military pilots in the Tver region, Putin emphasized that Russia has not advanced towards NATO borders; rather, NATO has moved closer to Russia, prompting defensive measures. He specifically refuted rumors of potential attacks on Poland, the Baltic states, and the Czech Republic, suggesting these are tactics to deceive and manipulate the populations of these countries, a notion he described as 'complete nonsense designed to racket money from their [NATO] population'. Additionally, Putin addressed the issue of F-16 fighters potentially being supplied to Ukraine, stating that while these aircraft can carry nuclear weapons, their provision to Ukraine would not alter the battlefield dynamics but would be taken into account in Russia's strategic plans. He criticized the West for using the threat of a 'Russian attack' to extract funds from their populations, ostensibly to support Ukraine and bolster the military-industrial complex.
