According to Fars, when Putin was asked about small European countries, he replied that Moscow treats them with respect in any case. At the same time, the Russian leader paid attention to the fact that such small countries, which want to "toughen the policy towards Russia and take some extreme measures", including sending military forces to Ukraine, cannot feel the consequences of their provocative statements.

The Russian president reminded that the United States has announced that it does not intend to send its troops to Ukraine, Washington is aware that Moscow will consider such an action as the entry of American troops into Russian territory.
Pointing out that the presence of American forces in Ukraine is considered intervention, he added: "Washington authorities have said that they do not intend to send troops. In our opinion, if American forces are present in Russia, they will be considered as interventionists and we will deal with this issue." "Even if they appear on the territory of Ukraine, and they understand this very well."

Putin reminded that Russia is ready to negotiate on Ukraine, but not negotiations based on their absurd desires.

The host of the program asked the head of the government that; Can the anti-Russian statements of the French authorities be a revenge for the fact that Russia has "stepped on France's tail" in the African continent?

The Russian president also said; If Poland sends its troops to Ukraine, it will not leave because it wants to return the lands it considers its own.

Pointing out that Russia and Finland had "very ideal relations" in the past, Putin emphasized: But after this country joins NATO, Russian forces and offensive systems will definitely appear near Finland's borders.

According to Putin, the armed forces of Ukraine are trying to attack areas of Russian territory to interfere in the elections. The main goal of Ukraine, which regularly tries to attack Russian regions, is to try to prevent normal elections.

The Russian president added: "However, I have no doubts about it. The main goal is to interfere, if not disrupt the Russian presidential elections, at least in some way in the normal process of expressing the will of Russian citizens."
Another reason Putin mentioned about Ukraine's attempts to attack Russian territories is that they regularly fail on the front. "The explanation is very simple," he said, "all this is happening against the background of failure on the contact line and on the front line. 

Putin added: "Foreign mercenaries are involved in the efforts of the Ukrainian army to attack Russia's border areas, and foreign mercenaries were also involved in the sabotage actions in which about 300 people participated."
