Just trust him.
Russia has no plans to invade the rest of Europe, President Vladimir Putin said late Wednesday, despite numerous warnings to NATO by Russian officials and Putin’s own musings about nuclear war.
As the Kremlin’s all-out conflict in Ukraine enters its third year, Putin vigorously rejected speculation that Russia could attack other countries in Eastern Europe next.
“This is complete nonsense — the possibility of an attack on some other countries, on Poland, the Baltic states, the Czechs are scared. It’s just nonsense,” he said, adding that Russia has “no aggressive intentions toward these states.”
