Putin denies plans to attack Europe but warns Baltics

Original: Putin claims Russia allegedly has no plans to fight Europe, Baltics included, but says Russian speakers’ rights are viol

Vladimir Putin said Russia has no plans to fight Europe, including the Baltic states, while simultaneously claiming that the rights of Russian speakers are being violated in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. He added that Moscow knows how to respond under international law. Critics point out he made similar assurances about Ukraine before the 2022 invasion, viewing the remarks as a familiar justification pattern toward the Baltics.

Why now: His Ukraine precedent makes his denials about the Baltic states look like a warning of possible future action.
