The European power elite is creating hysteria by saying that a war is at the door.
This is stated by Russian President Putin in a speech at the Russian think tank Valdai according to the news agency Reuters.
We are closely monitoring the increased militarization in Europe. The Russian response will not be delayed. The response to the threats will be very significant, he says according to AFP.
He also claims, according to Italian Ansa, that there is no reason to believe that Russia would attack NATO, and that the European leaders do not believe it either.
