Putin: Russia mirrors the deployment of NATO forces in Finland and Sweden
Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Caspian summit in Ashgabat said that for Moscow, the preparation of NATO for confrontation with Russia since 2014 was not news. The President believes that NATO is a vestige of the Cold War. According to him, in the event that Finland and Sweden lose the accidental chance of the alliance, Russia will be forced to mirror it.
“We need to investigate this as a fact. The fact that the presidents have been preparing for some kind of active actions against us since 2014 is not news to us, ”he said at a briefing (quote from Interfax). According to the president, it is “our decisive actions to protect our interests that are explained.”
According to the President, Russia has no problems with Sweden and Finland. “Only we must clearly and clearly identify – there was no warning in case of detection of a warning about the contingent and the reliability that we can detect a mirror image and create the same attacks in the territories where the attacks on us come from,” the president said.
President Putin also responded to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s claim that if Russia were a woman, he would never start a war. The President drew attention to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during the Falklands War in Great Britain and Argentina.
According to his decision, Mrs. Thatcher about the beginning of hostilities between Britain and Argentina was dictated by nothing more than “imperial ambitions, confirmation of its imperial status.” “Therefore, it seems to the president that in the future case from the current Prime Minister of Great Britain this is not a very correct connection to what is happening today,” he said.
