NATO responded on Wednesday to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat that Russia would target the U.S. if it placed intermediate-range missiles in Europe.
“We have taken note of the message from President Vladimir Putin on February 20. The Russian declarations that threaten to attack allies are unacceptable,†NATO spokesman Pierce Casalet told the Russian news outlet RIA Novosti.
During his State of the Union address on Wednesday, Putin said Moscow would respond to security threats, including the placement of new U.S. missiles in Europe. He stressed, however, that Russia was not seeking a confrontation with the West.
