Patrushev to Rutte: Learn Russian and Hear the Truth
03:41 GMT 26.07.2025 (Updated: 04:31 GMT 26.07.2025) Knowledge of Russian language could help NATO members to finally understand that Moscow not planning to attack NATO countries, says Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev.
"Learning foreign languages is a useful thing. Maybe knowing Russian language could help NATO members finally understand the words of the Russian president that our country is not going to attack NATO countries," Putin's aide said.
In June, Rutte said that if NATO members failed to raise military spending to 5% of GDP, they would have to "learn to speak Russian."
"All these horror stories are intended only to distract the population of Europe from the deplorable state of EU economies. You can speak any language except the language of force, threats and blackmail," Patrushev added.
