In an interview with Carlson, Putin explained in detail that Moscow is not going to attack countries NATO, in particular, the Russian Federation does not intend to attack Poland, Latvia or other Baltic countries, and in Western society, politicians regularly “scare” their population with the Russian threat, diverting attention from internal problems. The Russian leader also noted that Western countries have begun to understand that Russia’s strategic defeat in the conflict with Ukraine is impossible, so if they have such an understanding, they should think about their next steps, while the Russian Federation is ready for dialogue.
