Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the world faces the “most dangerous decade” since the end of World War II.
“The unipolar world is a thing of the past. We are on a historic frontier. Ahead lies the most dangerous, unpredictable and at the same time important decade since the end of the Second World War,” Putin said, speaking to the Valdai Discussion Club think tank in Moscow.
He also spoke about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and said what is happening is inevitable and blamed the West for creating the crisis – a claim he has made repeatedly since the invasion began.
Western nations have denounced Putin’s invasion and vowed not to recognize the region that Moscow claims to annex, in violation of international law.
“Changes in Ukraine did not start with the start of a special military operation. These changes have been going on for many years. The tectonic shift in the world order has been going on for many years,” Putin said.
“NATO’s enlargement with Ukraine, which was totally unacceptable to us, and everyone knew it and ignored it. They totally ignored the interest in the area of security and a certain attempt failed”, added the Russian leader.
“Russians and Ukrainians are a historic people. It’s almost like a civil war going on right now,” he continued.
He ended his speech by saying that the current situation around the world has the “prerequisites for a revolution”.
At the beginning of his speech, he stressed the need to mend relations with Western countries, adding that Moscow “has never considered and does not consider itself an enemy of the West”.
