Putin said NATO is using a fabricated Russian threat to justify higher defense spending and readiness as members plan up to €800 billion more by decade’s end.
- On Tuesday, June 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused NATO of openly preparing for war against Russia, claiming the alliance uses fabricated threats to justify higher Western military spending.

- Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko stated "the risk of a military clash is increasing," while the President drew parallels to 1941, claiming Nazi Germany also blamed the Soviet Union after attacking.

- European intelligence agencies have assessed Russia could attack a NATO member state by 2030, prompting NATO members to lift core military spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP.
