Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a stark warning to NATO, accusing the West of decades of deceit over military expansion. Citing broken promises of “not one inch east,” he condemned NATO’s push toward Russia’s borders. Putin slammed Europe’s stance on so-called “Russian aggression,” asserting Moscow’s sovereign right to set red lines. The warning comes just days after the NATO Summit in The Hague, where the alliance agreed to increase military spending to five percent.
