Letters to NATO are not intended as intimidation, but rather as a response to attempts to intimidate Russia. At the same time, in the event of a direct attack on Kaliningrad, Russia will deploy all available types of weaponry, states Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During his speech, Putin commented on correspondence and diplomatic signals directed at the North Atlantic Alliance.
According to him, such actions should not be viewed as pressure or intimidation.
"Letters to NATO are not intimidation; they are a response to attempts to intimidate us," the Russian leader asserted.
Separately, Putin addressed the topic of possible escalation and direct military confrontation on Russian territory. He declared readiness to use the entire arsenal in the event of a threat to specific regions.
According to him, if it comes to a direct attack on Russia, particularly on Kaliningrad, the question of using all types of weapons available to Russia will inevitably and immediately arise.
Putin constantly uses the topic of the North Atlantic Alliance to justify his aggressive policy and make further threatening statements toward the West.
In particular, earlier the Russian president issued a portion of absurdity regarding Ukraine, claiming that Russia did not start the war and that Russians do not strike peaceful residents first.
Furthermore, Putin cynically threatened the world with the continuation of international conflicts, traditionally hiding behind slogans about the struggle for peace and attempting to shift the blame for the wars he started onto Western countries.
