Russia has no designs on any NATO country and will not attack Poland, the Baltic states or the Czech Republic but if the West supplies F-16 fighters to Ukraine then they will be shot down by Russian forces, President Vladimir Putin said late Wednesday.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has triggered the deepest crisis in Russia’s relations with the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Speaking to Russian air force pilots, Putin said the U.S.-led military alliance had expanded eastwards towards Russia since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union but that Moscow had no plans to attack a NATO state.

We have no aggressive intentions towards these states,” Putin said, according to a Kremlin transcript released on Thursday.

The idea that we will attack some other country Poland, the Baltic States, and the Czechs are also being scared — is complete nonsense. It’s just drivel.”

The Kremlin, which accuses the U.S. of fighting against Russia by supporting Ukraine with money, weapons and intelligence, says relations with Washington have probably never been worse.

Asked about F-16 fighters which the West has promised to send to Ukraine, Putin said such aircraft would not change the situation in Ukraine.

“If they supply F-16s, and they are talking about this and are apparently training pilots, this will not change the situation on the battlefield,” Putin said.

“And we will destroy the aircraft just as we destroy today tanks, armoured vehicles and other equipment, including multiple rocket launchers.”

Putin said that F-16 could also carry nuclear weapons.

“Of course, if they will be used from airfields in third countries, they become for us legitimate targets, wherever they might be located,” Putin said.

Putin’s remarks followed comments earlier in the day by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba that the aircraft should arrive in Ukraine in the coming months.

Ukraine, now more than two years into a full-fledged war against Russia, has sought F-16s for many months.

Belgium, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands are among countries which have pledged to donate F-16s. A coalition of countries has promised to help train Ukrainian pilots in their use.

It's time to end this Ukraine war Mr Putin

As a pacifist and peace loving person, I've always advocated for a peaceful resolution to crisis.

Putin also acknowledged that his country cannot fight NATO

Putin has no intention of winning the Ukraine War. Neither does he want another kind of conclusion to the war.

The goal is to drag it out and continue the war INDEFINITELY just to make sure NATO does not establish a base in Ukraine.

One thing people should know is that, US and Russia will never engage in any direct military confrontation, it's always going to be a proxy war

He's warning y'all again. The airfields where such planes will fly from will be destroyed simple English...... If you think Putin is bluffing then let the plane fly from any NATO member state to attack Russia first, then una go know.

Bloody coward, Putin is smarter than his Nigerian hypemen. Putin can’t touch any NATO country. He knows this. Una go just sit for your one dey type nonsense. Ask yourself why USA fund important and unimportant degrees of anyone from any part of the world…. They seek and know strength and weakness of anywhere in the world😏 for USA to donate/sell weapons to any country, they have the antidote. USA is a MF country you should never trust their truth. They never go to war to win, war is just a distraction for other things. A crazy country you can’t see finish

This impending global war should start already. Enough of these repeated braggadocio.

This was exactly how he messed up the Syrian War for Bashar Al-Assad.

Putin gave Syria, the S-300 and S-400 Air Defense Systems but the Syrian Army is not permitted to use them to defend itself from Israel’s consistent bombardment.

Israel hides away in Lebanon’s airspace and continues bombing targets in Syria unceasingly, thereby eroding previously achieved gains.

It’s just like taking a step forward and then taking 50 steps backward.

Yes! Bashar Al-Assad is still in power, but at what cost?

A Pyrrhic Victory, if you ask me.

If you want to fight NATO, get with it already and stop dilly-dallying like a kindergarten pupil.

USA and NATO have already colonized the poor Ukraine. The rebuilding of Ukraine contracts have been awarded to USA contractors and their allies in exchange for natural resources of course.

They led Ukraine Into senseless war, Collect their savings in the name of providing the latest weapons, while no dime was sent in cash , all are in Aids abi na HIV

Now,the rebuilding process which means whoever Ukraine president would be for decade to come, the person must be a puppet to the West.

Btw, Russia vs Ukraine, Israel vs Palestine wars are not coincidence, remember I said everything USA have been sending to trouble countries are all in Aids, heh heh, the contractors who supplied those Aids are USA politicians meaning the war was for the USA politicians to generate money from their reelection.

Hecklefish, Yeepsy

Those who don't know blab rubbish. Thank you for this analysis. Ukraine has always been the entry point for every Russian invasion hence it is critical for their National security. Will Americans allow a Russian Military base in Mexico? What is good for the goose is good the gander
