V. Putin assures that he will not attack the Baltic countries: “Complete nonsense”

“We have no aggressive intentions towards these countries,” Putin told the pilots of the Russian Air Force. “The idea that we will attack some other country – Poland, the Baltic states, the Czechs are also afraid of it – is complete nonsense.”

It is true that V. Putin lied several times before that he would not attack Sakartvel or Ukraine, but later he led the occupying army into these countries.

Russia, according to President Vladimir Putin, is preparing for Ukraine to soon be able to use the first American-made F-16 fighter jets. Therefore, he warned about a scenario that is not even debatable: if fighter jets attack from military bases in third countries, these bases would become legitimate targets of the Russian army. V. Putin stated this while visiting the air force training center in the city of Torzhok, located 260 km from Moscow, Russian news agencies reported.

Ukraine lacks modern fighter jets in its fight against more than two years of Russian aggression. Therefore, countries such as the Netherlands and Denmark will provide Kyiv with F-16 aircraft. Ukrainian pilots are trained, among others, in Romania. The Ukrainian Air Force should begin using the F-16 this year, but when exactly is unclear.

The head of the Kremlin said on Wednesday that the F-16 will not change the military situation. “We will destroy their planes, as we are now destroying their tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment,” he said. However, the F-16 can potentially carry a nuclear weapon as well. Therefore, Russia will take this into account when carrying out military planning. Ukraine does not have nuclear weapons. In 1994, it disposed of the former Soviet atomic weapons that were on its territory. handed over to Russia.

V. Putin has once again justified his war against the neighboring country, arguing that it is the supposed protection of Russians in territories that historically belong to Russia. He called the fears that Russia might attack Europe nonsense. European governments allegedly want to intimidate their citizens in order to “extract money”.
