President Vladimir Putin has reaffirmed his concerns about Nato expansion, stating that it “violates” Russian security. During the Brics summit in Kazan, he spoke with the BBC’s Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the impact it is having on justice and security.
Putin expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation, stating that there is no justice in the expansion of Nato and that Russia wants to change that. His comments come at a time of heightened tensions between Russia and Western countries, particularly over the Ukraine conflict.
Rosenberg also questioned Putin about recent MI5 intelligence reports alleging that Russia’s intelligence agency has been involved in activities to create chaos on British and European streets. Putin vehemently denied these claims, calling them “complete nonsense.”
The exchange sheds light on the continued animosity between Russia and Western powers, with Putin reiterating his stance on Nato expansion and dismissing accusations of Russian involvement in destabilizing activities. As the conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate, it appears that tensions between Russia and the West will only continue to rise.
