There were no problems, but now there will be, because we will now create the Leningrad military district there and definitely concentrate military units there, Putin added in the interview by Russian state broadcaster Russia 1. Putin also dismissed as complete nonsense remarks from US President Joe Biden, who earlier this month warned that Putin would keep going if he takes Ukraine, suggesting that Russia could eventually attack a NATO ally and draw US troops into conflict.The Russian leader said Russia has no reason, no interest, no geopolitical interest, neither economic, nor political, nor military, to fight with NATO countries, adding Moscow does not have any territorial claims in NATO countries.There is no desire to spoil relations with them (NATO countries), we are interested in developing relations, Putin added. Finland became the 31st member of NATO when it joined in April, doubling the security alliances direct frontier with Russia.Even before Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine, he had demanded NATO limit its expansion. Yet, it was the war that altered the security environment of Finland, driving the Nordic nations desire to join the alliance, President Sauli Niinist said in May 2022 when announcing his country would seek to join.
