President of Russia Vladimir Putin referred to US President Joe Biden’s claims that Moscow may attack NATO as absurd and a figure of speech.
“This is absolutely absurd. I believe that President Biden is aware of this, this is merely a figure of speech to support his incorrect strategy against Russia,” he said in an interview with Rossiya-1 channel journalist Pavel Zarubin.
Biden earlier this month warned that if Putin won a victory over Ukraine then Russia would attack a NATO country.
Biden offered no clear evidence for his remarks. It is complete nonsense – and I think President Biden understands that,” Putin said in an interview published on Sunday by Rossiya state television, saying it was an attempt by Biden to justify his “erroneous policy” on Russia.
“Russia has no reason, no interest – no geopolitical interest, neither economic, political nor military – to fight with NATO countries.”
