European claims Putin wants to attack NATO and restore the USSR

The Kremlin said European claims that Vladimir Putin wanted to restore the Soviet Union and attack NATO were complete stupidity. Putin, who was born in the Soviet Union, in 2005 cast the collapse of the Soviet Union as the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century because tens of millions of Russians were impoverished and Russia itself faced the threat of disintegration. Opponents say Putin’s Russia is decaying in a potent brew of absurdity and repression that is comparable to the Leonid Brezhnev-era of the Soviet Union.Putin has repeatedly denied that he has any plans to attack NATO and has said that such a step would be foolish for Russia given the conventional military superiority of NATO over Russia. What is yur take on Europe’s claims ?
