BERLIN, August 29 - RIA Novosti. Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that allegations about Russia's alleged plans to attack NATO countries are unsubstantiated.

“I don’t believe that Russia would ever want to attack...NATO,” Stubb said in an interview with the German newspaper Bild.

The Finnish president emphasized that in his conclusions he relies on the intelligence data available to him. Stubb compared the very allegations about Russia’s alleged preparation of an attack on NATO territory to fortune telling with a crystal ball.

“If someone had such a ball, that would be great. But I simply don’t see any evidence or facts in favor of this,” the President of Finland emphasized.

Russian President Vladimir Putin previously pointed out that Western countries use false statements about the threat allegedly emanating from Russia to carry out militarization. Putin emphasized that Moscow is not going to fight with Europe, but if Europe wants war, then Russia is ready for it “right now.”
