Russian President Vladimir Putin is
engaged in "propaganda" in saying Moscow will down any
Western-supplied F-16s used in Ukraine, even at NATO airports,
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Thursday.
"It looks like a lot of propaganda: Russia made a bad impression
with the (Moscow ISIS) attack, it seemed odd to me that the
(intelligence) services did not stop it," said Tajani, who is
also deputy premier, on Rai1 on Putin's apparent threat to
target NATO airports.
"Now he's trying to distract attention. I don't think that Putin
wants world war, also because he would not win it."
The West is considering supplying Kyiv with F-16s.
