Putin Says NATO Is Preparing for War—and Compares Western Countries to Nazi Germany in 1941

Putin said NATO is using a fabricated Russian threat to justify higher defense spending and readiness as members plan up to €800 billion more by decade’s end.

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin accused NATO of openly preparing for war against Russia, claiming the alliance fabricates a Moscow threat to justify higher Western military spending.
  • Putin repeated Moscow's long-running claim that Russia "endured for eight years" and was "forced" to defend Donbas, arguing the West creates threats to justify its own aggressive posture.
  • Drawing parallels to 1941, the President claimed Nazi Germany also blamed the Soviet Union after attacking; Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko stated "the risk of a military clash is increasing."
  • Putin praised his forces for nearing Kostiantynivka in Donetsk and dismissed potential talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming Ukraine shows no interest in peace.
  • European intelligence agencies have assessed Russia could attack a NATO member state by 2030, while NATO members agreed to lift core military spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP.
