“A certain tension has arisen there.
It is necessary that this state persists for them as long as possible, so that it does not occur to them to arrange some unnecessary conflict for us on the western borders, "Putin said during his speech, which was broadcast by RT.
According to him, Russian warnings to the West "make themselves felt and produce a certain effect."
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on Russia to reduce tensions and avoid escalation on the border with Ukraine.
On November 13, Putin spoke about statements about Russia's alleged preparation for an invasion of Ukraine.
