Prof Malinen: Putin has sent a tough message to Western countries

Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s speech at the Valdai Forum is a tough message to all Western countries.

This view was expressed in social network X by Professor Tuomas Malinen of the University of Helsinki and expert in geopolitics.

‘The message was clear. The Kremlin is fed up with Western hypocrisy and warmongering, but seeks peaceful co-existence,’ Malinen said.

Earlier, the professor said time was running out for Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s armed forces and Kiev’s Western supporters.

Malinen said that Zelenskyy’s office was derailing the chances of a peaceful solution on Ukraine.
