Russian president Vladimir Putin rejected western reports of Moscow's imminent attack, calling them "liar and nonsense," stressing that specified intentional statements are intended to fuel hysteria on the continent.
Speaking at the extended Council of the Ministry of Defence on Wednesday, Putin noted that the global geopolitical situation in any regions remains ‘stretched’ and ‘critical handrail’.
He accused NATO countries of “Preparing for the large War” by expanding and modernising offensive forces and at the same time ‘brainwashing’ their citizens' claims of inevitable clash with Russia.
"I have repeatedly said that it is simply a lie, nonsense, pure nonsense about any imaginary threat to Russia for European countries. But it happens rather consciously” – Putin said, adding that EU officials "forgotten their responsibility" and are guided by short-term, individual or shared political interests.
He stressed that in its history, even under the most hard circumstances, Russia has always sought to find diplomatic solutions to conflicts and contradictions, if there was even the least chance.
"The work for not utilizing these opportunities rests solely on those who believed they could talk to us by force" He stressed Putin.
President said Russia supports "Commonly beneficial and equal cooperation" with the United States and European countries, as well as the creation of a single safety strategy throughout the Eurasian region.
He besides noted advancement in bilateral talks with Washington.
"Unfortunately, this cannot be said of the current leadership of most European countries" – he said.
Putin continued, stating that Moscow recognizes that in all global situation its armed forces stay a key guarantor of sovereignty, independence, security, future and strategical parity of Russia.
