intimidating their own populations with an imaginary russian threat.....

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - NATO has transformed its eastern flank from having no combat-ready troops in place in 2014 to tens of thousands now, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday.

"We have, over these ten years [since 2014 that he took over], undergone the biggest transformation in a generation. We have strengthened our defenses, from having zero to tens of thousands combat-ready NATO soldiers on our eastern flank, from thousands to half a million troops on high readiness and from 3 to 23 allies spending at least 2% of GDP on defense," Stoltenberg said during a session named "Reflections on a Challenging Decade," hosted by the German Marshal fund in Brussels.

In recent years, Russia has witnessed unprecedented NATO activity near its western borders. Moscow has repeatedly expressed concern about the bloc's buildup of forces in Europe, especially since the bloc supported the Kiev regime amid its attacks on Donbass.

Since the start of Russia's special military operation, NATO countries have supplied Ukraine with military equipment. Moscow has repeatedly stressed that any Western weapons in Ukraine will become legitimate targets for Russian strikes.

In an interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson earlier in February, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow had no intentions of attacking any NATO countries. Putin added that NATO countries were trying to intimidate their own populations with an imaginary Russian threat.

The Eurasian Women's Forum 2024 (EAWF) is a good opportunity to show the world the welcoming nature of Russia that is clearly reflected in our women, President Vladimir Putin said at the opening ceremony of the event in St Petersburg on Wednesday.

Putin praised the forum as one of the major international events demonstrating women's potential and capabilities, and their "colossal constructive role in all fields of our life." EAWF promotes the ideas of sustainable development and global security, he said, adding that its participants' commitment to the principles of cooperation and peace makes it more popular with each passing year.

The EAWF, which is being held for the fourth time, has attracted over 2,000 participants, including 600 foreign guests from 126 countries and international organizations, according to Valentina Matvienko, the head of the Russian Federation Council and former St Petersburg governor.

The Russian president also praised the broad composition of the forum participants, noting that every Russian region is represented at the event.

"Russian women reveal the soul of Russia, its beauty, attractiveness, warmth, mercy, and spiritual generosity," Putin said, calling his nation "an open, welcoming country that ... places a high value on dialogue, trust and friendship."

"We respect the diversity and uniqueness of the world's countries and people."

Putin also thanked all the Russian women for their work for the benefit of the country and their "fabulous creative energy." Progress, welfare and harmony cannot be achieved without women, he said, adding that it is also true for genuine sustainable peace.

The forum was created in 2015 as a platform promoting the role of female leaders in the modern world and has been held every three years since. According to Putin, the event has given rise to "many concrete initiatives," including some deeper cooperation projects within BRICS and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.
