The White House said that NATO does not threaten Russia. This is how the US authorities commented on the order of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the transfer of deterrence forces to a special duty regime. RIA News.
“Never once has Russia been threatened by NATO, by Ukraine,” said US administration spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
In addition, she stated that Putin’s behavior model is to create threats that do not exist. In her opinion, this is done to justify further aggression.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin ordered the Ministry of Defense to transfer the Russian deterrence forces to a special duty regime. He noted that in relation to Moscow, the West takes not only unfriendly actions in the economic sphere, but also allows aggressive statements.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to conduct a special military operation to protect Donbass. According to him, it was a response to requests for military assistance that came from the leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DNR and LNR).
