Relations between Russia and the EU spiralled downward after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine, leading the bloc to bolster its defence.
“Russia will never show weakness or indecisiveness,“ Putin added.
Putin accused Europe of stoking “hysteria” to excuse rising military spending and said Russia did not pose a threat. “Just calm down,“ the Russian President said.
“But given we are at war with the entire NATO bloc and are advancing, feeling confident, and we are still being called a paper tiger, then what is NATO itself?” Putin said.
Europe’s largest atomic energy plant -- which is in a cold shutdown mode -- lost power over a week ago, the longest outage so far.
Commenting on potential supplies of US long-range missiles Tomahawk to Ukraine, Putin warned this would worsen already battered relations between Moscow and Washington.
“This would mean a whole new level of escalation, including in relations between Russia and the United States,“ Putin said. – AFP
