NATO, which in 1991 promised not to expand to the east, is already standing on Russia's borders, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the country's military leadership.
They keep telling me: what are you afraid of now, we won't accept new members now.
I say: Never mind now. What about tomorrow?
From the point of view of historical perspectives and strategic interests of the Russian state, even in 10, even in 15 years, this is unacceptable. The goal is clear - to bring Ukraine into NATO. In 1991 they said: not an inch to the east. And in the end they lied - they are already at our door - he declared.
The Russian leader reminded that at that moment there were proposals that were completely acceptable to everyone, but the alliance rejected them, as it sought to free itself from Russia.
They don't need a country like Russia - it's too big. It should be divided, subjugated part by part, just as Europe is being subjugated - said Vladimir Putin.
