Trump to Axios: I'm not worried Russia will attack NATO

In a recent phone interview with Axios, President Trump declared he is not worried about Russia attacking NATO countries. European leaders have expressed deep concern over the possibility of a Russian attack, warning that Moscow might test NATO's resolve through limited military actions. CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently visited Moscow to reassure Russia not to attack NATO, but Trump dismissed these reports as "standard business."

He expressed confusion about the media's interpretation of Ratcliffe's visit, stating there was no unusual message exchanged. The Russian foreign intelligence service director, Sergey Naryshkin, confirmed the meeting as routine and discussed intelligence matters. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia might mobilize 500,000 troops and deploy 30,000 North Korean troops to Ukraine.

Russian drones were recently intercepted by NATO countries, and the Russian Foreign Ministry accused the UK and France of provoking a confrontation by supplying Ukraine with technology for long-range attacks. The Russian Foreign Ministry threatened retaliation against British military targets if the UK's assistance to Ukraine continues.
