Putin has declared that he will not go to war with NATO

Putin has said that he has no intention of going to war with NATO.

He called the statement that Russia will attack Europe "complete nonsense."

Words about a possible attack on Poland, the Baltic States and the Czech Republic are a way to deceive the population of the countries, the Russian president added.

At the same time, Putin stated that if F-16s are used against the Russian army from the airfields of third countries, these airfields will become a "legitimate target" for the Russian Federation.
