Russia has no interest in having war with NATO countries, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
In an interview with a local TV channel, Putin refuted the claims that Russia may attack NATO as “absurd and a figure of speech”.
“Moscow and NATO countries have no territorial claims against each other,” he said.
Putin stressed that Russia does not seek to sour relations with NATO countries.
Instead, Russia is interested in developing relations with these countries, he added.
