Television comments by the Russian president yesterday have only increased such concerns.
The Great Fifth War was under way for 21 years. It might seem that he was at war with Sweden, that he took something from them. He took nothing from them, he just returned what was Russia's”, he said in a conversation with some young people.
When Petr created the new town, no European country recognised it as Russia. Everyone recognised it as Sweden”, Putin said.
What was Petr doing? Returning. That's what he did”.
He then compared Petri's campaign to the task Russia is facing today.
It seems that it is up to us to return what is Russia's and empower the country. And if we start with these basic values of the basis of our existence, we will certainly succeed in solving the tasks we are facing”.
And apparently the most threatening attitude came when he seemed to leave the door open for another expansion of Russian territory.
The “is impossible- you understand- to create obstacles around a country like Russia and we were not aiming at building something like this”, he said.
Putin, who is in his 23rd year in power, has repeatedly tried to reason on Russia's action in Ukraine by making up a story that Ukraine has no real identity and tradition of citizenship.
