"As for the [Nato's] expansion, including through inclusion of the new members of 
the alliance - Finland, Sweden - I want to inform you, dear colleagues, that 
Russia has no problem with those states, it hasn't.  So, in this regard, expansion 
by the addition of those countries poses no direct threat for us.  But the 
expansion of _military infrastructure_ into this territory would certainly provoke 
our response.  What that will be, we will see what threats are created for us."
- Putin

"As for expansion of the Atlantic Alliance [Nato], yes, it's a problem, which is 
being created completely artificially, in my opinion, in the United States 
foreign-policy interests.  In general, Nato is being used as one country's foreign 
policy tool.  It's being made possible consistently, skillfully and quite 
aggressively.  All of this just worsening the already difficult global security 
situation."
