In an interview, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the United States employed Ukraine as a weapon to threaten Russia, while Russia had to defend itself against Ukraine’s “genocide” of Russian-speaking people.
Ukraine claims Putin’s genocide allegations are nonsense and that it is fighting for its existence.
Also, the West ascertained that claims that it wants to tear apart Russia are untrue.
According to Russia, despite sanctions, it can prosper without a decadent and deceitful West led by the United States.
Following the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, the country says it will not pursue ties with the West anymore, and that it will focus on developing ties with other countries like China.
