“Putin dismisses Biden’s claim of Russian NATO attack threat.”
In an interview published by Rossiya state television, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin dismissed U.S. President Joe Biden’s assertion that Russia would attack a NATO country following a victory in Ukraine as utter nonsense. Putin emphasized that Russia held no intentions of engaging in conflict with the NATO military alliance. President Biden, earlier this month, had cautioned that if Putin succeeded in Ukraine, Russia might target a NATO nation, albeit without presenting concrete evidence to support his statement.
Putin labeled Biden’s remarks as baseless, attributing them to an attempt by the U.S. President to justify his flawed approach towards Russia. He asserted that Russia lacked any rationale or desire, whether geopolitical, economic, political, or military, to initiate hostilities with NATO countries. The Kremlin chief emphasized that Biden should comprehend the fallacy in his assertions regarding a potential Russian attack on a NATO member.
Putin’s statement aimed to debunk Biden’s warning, reiterating Russia’s disinterest in engaging in military conflict with any NATO nation. The Russian leader denounced Biden’s claim as a tactic to vindicate his misguided policies towards Russia, emphasizing the absence of any valid grounds for Russia to seek confrontation with NATO countries.
