President Vladimir Putin stated on Thursday that Russia’s goal was to create a “new world” and attributed Moscow’s relentless offensive in Ukraine to Western hegemony.
Russia’s mission to create ‘new world’: Putin has depicted Russia’s extensive military participation in Ukraine, which began in February 2022, as a component of a protracted conflict with the West.
Putin said that the West sought to achieve “hegemony” on a global scale and stated that “we are tasked, basically, with building a new world.”
“The West always needs an enemy,” he declared.
According to Putin, the struggle in Ukraine is “not a territorial” one, and Moscow “has no interests from the point of view of conquering some territories.”
Large portions of southern and eastern Ukraine are under Russian military control, and Putin has formally annexed Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Lugansk.
Putin has frequently claimed that Ukrainian territory was traditionally part of Russia and cast doubt on the existence of the Ukrainian state.
Additionally, in 2014, Putin oversaw the annexation of the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.
However, The longstanding leader, who turns 71 this week, is blaming Western nations for the crisis, which is now in its twentieth month.
“He stated that the Kyiv regime, with active support from the West, initiated the war, which has been ongoing for ten years.”
Further, He used Moscow’s description for the offensive, “the special military operation, to stop it.”
However, In the first few days of its onslaught, the Russian army was unable to capture Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
