Putin:

Putin: The Western powers, led by the United States, believed that they had won the Cold War and had the right to determine for themselves how the world should be organized. The practical expression of this worldview was the project of unlimited expansion of the North Atlantic bloc in space and time. Although there were, of course, other ideas on how to ensure security in Europe. Our fair questions were answered with excuses, in the spirit that, say, no one is going to attack Russia, and NATO expansion is, say, not directed against Russia. The promise made to the Soviet Union and then to Russia in the late 80s and early 90s not to include new members in the bloc was quietly forgotten. And if they remembered, they sneeringly referred to the fact that these assurances were verbal and therefore non-binding. Join Slavyangrad chat. Your opinion matters.
