"The level of professional training at this place is insufficient," the president said, commenting on the words of Alliance Secretary General Mark Rutte about preparations for war with Russia.

"Listen, what are you saying? Well, can you read? Well, read the new security strategy of the United States, the creator of NATO," Putin addressed Rutte.
