Russian dictator Vladimir Putin made the statement in his annual speech on foreign policy at a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, a geopolitical think-tank.
He claimed that the West is “blinded by colonialism” and “tries to contain the development of other civilizations." Putin added, however, that “sooner or later, the West will have to start talking about our common future.”
“We are facing one of the most dangerous and unpredictable decades since the Second World War,” Putin said, adding that the world order imposed after the Soviet Union's collapse is “coming to an end.”
Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
