Russian President Vladimir Putin
NATO is moving its military infrastructure closer to the Russian border and Russia needs to strengthen its own infrastructure in response, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.
He spoke at a news conference after talks with Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto.
Putin also said NATO was refusing to discuss rules for military flights with Russia.
Referring a joint meeting with Trump, Putin also said, "A summit with U.S. President Donald Trump was useful but U.S. sanctions against Moscow are counter-productive and pointless".
Putin also stated Europe needed the Moscow-led Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline project and that Russia was the most suitable supplier of energy for Europe.
He was speaking at a news conference after talks with Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto in the Black Sea city of Sochi.
