The Russian president made such a warning at a meeting with the leaders of the State Duma and the heads of party factions.
As for Russian proposals to establish an equal security system in Europe, Putin said they were turned down, along with initiatives for joint work on the missile defense problem.
Putin added that Russian warnings against NATO expansion have also fallen on deaf ears.
On this occasion, Putin also denounced that the West, led by the United States, has carried out extreme aggression toward Russia for decades.
