In an interview to Corriere della Sera President of Russia Vladimir Putin noted that Russia was no threat to NATO, EuroNews reports.
"I think that only an insane person and only in a dream can imagine that Russia would suddenly attack NATO. I think some countries are simply taking advantage of people’s fears with regard to Russia," Putin told the Italian paper, ahead of a visit to Italy.
"Everything we do, we do in response to the threats that we are faced with. And we do it to a very limited extent, but big enough to ensure Russia’s security," Putin added.
