Putin: claims that Russia could perform a nuclear attack on Baltics are madness
Russian President Vladimir Putin called claims that Russia could engage NATO in an armed conflict and use nuclear arms against neighbouring countries, including Baltic States, delusional.
«I think all sober-minded people who really are involved in politics understand that the idea of a Russian threat to, for example, the Baltics is complete madness,» – Putin said in an interview to Bloomberg.
«Are we really about to fight NATO? How many people live in NATO countries? About 600 million, correct? There are 146 million in Russia. Yes, we’re the biggest nuclear power. But do you really think that we’re about to conquer the Baltics using nuclear weapons? What is this madness?» – said the Russian President.
