Putin has claimed Russia has no plans to attack NATO countries but will shoot down F-16 fighter jets sent to Ukraine from Western countries. Speaking at a visit to an air base late Wednesday to military pilots, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia had no intention of starting a war with NATO. He called the claim that Russia would attack a NATO member country "sheer nonsense". When asked about F-16 fighter jets, which the West has pledged to send to Ukraine, Putin said that the aircraft would not dramatically alter the situation.
At the same meeting, he warned Ukraine’s Western allies against providing air bases in their countries from where the F-16s could launch sorties against the Kremlin's forces, saying those bases would be a “legitimate target.” The F-16s require a high standard of runways and reinforced hangars to protect them when they are on the ground. Military analysts have said the arrival of potentially dozens of F-16s won’t be a game-changer, though Ukrainian officials have welcomed them as an opportunity to hit back at Russia's air dominance. Putin insisted the F-16s “won’t change the situation on the battlefield”. “We will destroy their warplanes just as we destroy their tanks, armoured vehicles and other equipment, including multiple rocket launchers,” Putin added.
Meanwhile, Russia fired drones and missiles overnight at southern and eastern regions of Ukraine, according to authorities on Thursday, as Kremlin forces persevere with attrition attacks designed to wear down Ukrainian defences.
Meantime, regardless of the risks that we know that Putin knows exist by attacking NATO, all of the Putin mind readers just know he’s lying.
As long as Russia continues to fail, the whole World wins.
“Putin rules out attacks on NATO countries”
Does this mean Trump is no longer a Putin advisor? /s
Meanwhile Vlad is pulling the plug all over Ukraine. 7th or 8th powerplant has been Shaheeded, ( low cost drones), Kharkov still unplugged, and will be for a long while…..some say at least one year.
That said, Kharkov area getting utterly hammered by Ivan’s 500, 1500 lb FABs…Vlad’s 3,000 FAB is unveiling this week. No defenses against them, and they are used specifically to totally annihilate heavily built up defensive fortifications.
Kharkov will be like Avidivka, the Ukies fled when he unleashed his FAB’s upon them. Pulling up captured Ukie accounts of the FAB’s confirms their effectiveness.

So, when does the collective West decide to pull the plug?….it has to be getting close.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman pledged Tuesday that his country will not launch a war with Ukraine, but he warned of threats from Kyiv that may require military action.
....“Russia is not going to attack anyone,” Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, told reporters Tuesday morning, according to a translation of his remarks. “It’s not like that.”

Nothing in Putin’s Russia is true until it has been officially denied
As long as Russia continues to fail,

Huh, I guess you believe the Ukies shot down 99 of Vlad 68 missiles? Geo located video and reports by eight/nine mayors say much different….do you realize the past week a new record of missile attacks have been unleashed? ….or do you prefer the western take, Vlad has run out of missiles.
Anyway, this rate of powerplant strikes signals Vlad’s offensive is near…..Kharkov is a given, when the second largest city in Ukraine falls, many experts expect St Z to finally start negotiations…I don’t think so, they haven’t reached “ the last Ukrainian “ yet.
They left out the huge Sino- Russian pipeline that is being built. The article should have said Russia expects HUGE profits.
Fact is, Vlad has outsmarted the West in every single sector. He is becoming stronger everyday..Try again.
“ the Power of Siberia”, seems you are way behind on the Ukie war news….and you will be if you buy into the corrupted Western narrative.
Okay, Mr. UMC Mom.
I am really upset about the Zeepers trying to put American troops in so much danger. They insist on sending Z all of NATO’a Patriots. If we lose all those patriots and Ukraine collapses, what’s going to protect our American boys fighting off Putin’s hordes at the gates of Brussels, Paris and Rome this fall?
He said the same thing about rumors he’d invade Ukraine just a day or two before he did it.
He also said he wasn’t going to attack Ukraine.
Do you have any reputable Western or Danish sources saying they cancelled sending the 19 F-16s to Ukraine?
Our “ boys” don’t belong in Ukraine, or the EU. Our Founding Fathers warned us specifically by stating Do NOT get involved in foreign entanglements.
Ukraine is a prime example, the US citizens now suffer and will pay a price, $$$ billions of US taxpayers money down the Ukie toilet to protect Ukie borders when ours are being overrun….$44,000,000,000,000 debt and rising…Think about that- hard.
Google search or listen to Mercouris’s daily briefs.
So the answer is no, you don’t have a good source for your claim.
