Putin declară că Rusia este o cetate asediată: „Nu vrem să atacăm pe nimeni”. Ce spune despre relația cu Europa

During the Valdai Discussion Club meeting, President Putin addressed European relations and accusations of Russia's aggressive intentions. He warned that any attack on Kaliningrad would prompt a full military response. Putin emphasized that Russia does not intend to attack but will defend itself if provoked. He criticized European leaders for misinterpreting Russia's diplomatic communications and reiterated that Russia seeks peaceful relations. Despite claims of aggression, he portrayed Russia as a besieged fortress, asserting that NATO's actions have historically excluded Russia from Europe. Putin's rhetoric reflects a long-standing narrative of Russia's misunderstood position in global affairs.
