Putin Dismisses Biden's Warning, Asserts 'No Interest' in Attacking NATO as 'Nonsense'
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed U.S. President Joe Biden's claim that Russia would attack NATO countries as baseless, emphasizing that Russia has no intention of conflict with NATO
In an interview with Rossiya state TV, Putin labeled Biden's comments, which suggested American troops might end up fighting Russian troops if Putin conquered Ukraine, as a justification for flawed policies.
Putin also highlighted potential issues with Finland's recent NATO membership, noting it could lead to military build-up in the Leningrad region despite historical disputes being previously resolved.
Finland has tightened its border with Russia, citing Moscow's alleged manipulation of asylum seeker movements.
