Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that it is the West that is starting to build a new axis like the one built by fascist Germany and militarist Japan. He said this on the air of the Russia 24 television channel in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin.
Putin said NATO’s new strategic concept, which was approved last year, explicitly sets out plans for developing relations with countries in the Asia-Pacific region and plans for creating a “global NATO “.
“They announce that they are going to create a ‘world NATO’. Well what is it? (…) This is why Western analysts themselves say that the West is beginning to build a new axis like the one created in the 1930s by the fascist regimes in Germany and Italy and militarist Japan,” said said Putin.
He also said that Britain and Japan in January this year signed an agreement “on mutual openness”, on establishing contacts and developing relations in the military field.
Putin also said that cooperation between Russia and China was “not a military alliance”.
Earlier it became known that Russia will place tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the deployment of weapons will take place without violating relevant international obligations. According to him, the reason for this decision was London’s statement regarding the supply of depleted uranium ammunition to Kiev.
