'Complete nonsense': Putin affirms Russia will not attack NATO, but F-16s will be shot down in Ukraine

India TV News  

Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday refuted the claims made by the West and said that Moscow has no plan to attack any NATO country including Poland, the Baltic states or the Czech Republic. Speaking to Russian air force pilots, Putin said the US-led military alliance had expanded eastwards towards Russia since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union but that Moscow had no plans to attack a NATO state. Asked about F-16 fighters which the West has promised to send to Ukraine, Putin said such aircraft would not change the situation in Ukraine. "If they supply F-16s, and they are talking about this and are apparently training pilots, this will not change the situation on the battlefield," Putin said.
