"It's complete nonsense the possibility of an attack on some other countries, on Poland, the Baltic states, and elsewhere," Putin said. Russia has framed the full-scale invasion as a proxy war between Moscow and NATO, and Putin rehashed Kremlin rhetoric about the alliance causing the war, although he again rejected Western statements that he would look to attack other countries after Ukraine.
That reads rather like the rhetoric in Feb 2022, of course we are not going to invade Ukraine... and how is that going?
