As the president noted, the West is trying to intimidate its population with an imaginary Russian threat.

The journalist asked Putin to say whether he imagined a scenario in which Russian troops would be sent to Poland.

“Only in one case: if there is an attack on Russia from Poland. Why? Because we have no interests in Poland, in Latvia - anywhere. Why do we need this? We simply have no interests,” the Russian President responded.

He confirmed that the Russian Federation has no territorial claims on the continent.

This is absolutely impossible, you don’t need to be any kind of analyst: it’s contrary to common sense to get drawn into some kind of global war,” said Vladimir Putin.

A global war could bring all of humanity to the brink of destruction, he added.
