"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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I65YTLuZEr0 "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."
