🇷🇺 President Vladimir Putin on the Washington’s efforts to escalate tensions with Russia:

Today, we are paying increasing attention to Washington’s efforts to escalate tensions in connection with the flights by Russian strategic aircraft.

☝️ Just to remind you, Russian strategic missile carriers have not performed any air patrols far from our borders since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia thought this was no longer needed, with the world having changed and the Cold War becoming a thing of the past.

However, the United States chose to ignore this unilateral gesture of goodwill and continued patrolling the space in the proximity of our borders.

❗️ So, since 2007, we have resumed such flights as a response to the increased activity from US strategic and reconnaissance aircraft in the regions that we believe are sensitive for us. The move has aimed, among other things, to ensure security in the Asia-Pacific region.
