After the recent tensions due to threats of Poland regarding the shooting down of Russian missiles approaching the borders of NATO, is now the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to put on the table hypotheses of attacks by the Federation in territories belonging to the Atlantic Pact.
The Russian Tsar made it clear that if i F-16 fighter should they be supplied to Ukraine, the Russian army will consider itself legitimated to strike them even while they are inside NATO bases. “If used by airports in third countries, they become a legitimate target for us, regardless of their location,” he underlined. This situation raises extremely delicate issues, since it would constitute an attack on a member country of the Alliance, recalling the application of Article 5 of the Treaty which provides for military intervention by the allies. It should be noted that Ukraine, despite promises from allies, is still waiting for the fighters, as pilots need to be trained on these latest generation combat aircraft.
Putin: “Invade Europe? Total nonsense."
However, Putin has categorically rejected accusations that he is planning ainvasion or an attack on a European country, dismissing them as “total nonsense”. During a meeting with Russian Air Force pilots, Putin said the accusations were made only to intimidate the population and obtain more funding, a narrative that grows "out of a falling economy and deteriorating living standards." .
Meanwhile, the ongoing offensive in Ukraine continues, with violence bombings which have affected various areas of the country. According to reports from the Kiev Air Force, most of the kamikaze drones launched by Russia were shot down by the Ukrainian defense, but some missiles managed to hit the target. The situation on the ground remains extremely delicate and unpredictable.
Kiev: “Moscow knew about the terrorist attack”
Meanwhile, news emerges about alleged warnings of Islamist attacks in Moscow, raising further questions about security and stability in the region. According to what was declared by Dmytro Budanov, head of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, Russia was aware of the plans for theterrorist attack on March 22 at the Crocus theater in Moscow for over a month already. However, she chose not to intervene. These revelations fuel existing tensions, with the Kremlin continuing to blame Ukraine and its alleged accomplices, including London and Washington.
La propaganda Russian, therefore, appears to fuel a narrative to justify further actions against Kiev. However, the international community remains on alert, trying to find diplomatic solutions to avoid a possible escalation of the conflict.
