As part of what he described as Washington’s purported efforts to retain its global hegemony on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin charged that the United States was attempting to foster prolonged conflicts in Ukraine.
In his speech to a security conference, Putin reiterated his long-standing assertion that he deployed soldiers into Ukraine in response to Washington turning the nation into a “anti-Russia” stronghold. Military officials from Africa, Asia, and Latin America were in attendance.
In order to maintain their power, Putin claimed, “They need wars.” “As a result, they have made the Ukrainian people into ammunition. The scenario in Ukraine demonstrates how the US is attempting to prolong the conflict and how it behaves when attempting to inflame crises in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
The address was the Russian President’s most recent attempt to galvanize support in the face of harsh Western sanctions that hit the Russian economy and financial sector as well as its government institutions, top officials, and enterprises in retaliation for Moscow’s actions in Ukraine.
No matter how hard the proponents of the present globalist model try to cling to it, it’s doomed, the Russian leader alleged that “Western globalist elites” were attempting to “transfer the burden for their own failings to Russia and China.” Putin continued, “The era of the unipolar international order is drawing to a close.
Speaking at the same conference, Sergei Shoigu, the Russian defense minister, claimed that in addition to sending weaponry to Ukraine, Western partners had also sent instructors and detailed intelligence data.
In addition to providing target coordinates for launch of strikes, “Western intelligence services have also supervised the input of those data into weapons systems,” Shoigu stated.
He denied claims that Russia might employ chemical or nuclear weapons in the battle, calling them a “total fabrication.”
