Putin: no lasting world order is possible without a strong sovereign Russia

Russian leader Vladimir Putin said during his address to the Federal Assembly that no lasting world order is possible without a strong sovereign Russia.

“The actions of the US and its satellites have actually led to the dismantling of the European security system. This creates risks for all. It is obvious that it is necessary to work to form a new contour of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia in the foreseeable future. We are ready for a substantive discussion on this topic with all interested countries and alliances. At the same time, I would like to emphasise once again… No lasting world order is possible without a strong sovereign Russia,” Putin said.
