Some Western politicians are confused because they do not understand Russia.

Axar.az reports this is stated in an article published in the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.

"The many US think tanks have recently noted that it is very difficult for Westerners to understand the views of the Russian president," he said.

The author of the article also writes that NATO will use the tension on the Russian-Ukrainian border to avoid unpleasant questions:

"Military threats are increasing the attention of Western partners to Kyiv."
