Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the US for wanting Russia's defeat in Ukraine. He said, a new world order is taking shape. The Western-led system is ending. That is why wars are taking place in many places. The BRICS countries are ready to take responsibility in this system. Along with this, Putin congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory in his first public comment on the results of the US voting on Thursday.
Western countries want to see Russia's strategic defeat
Putin's remarks came after a speech during an international forum conference in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. "We have come close to a dangerous line. Western countries want to see Russia's strategic defeat," Putin said at the Valdai consultation held in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
US-led military coalition falls prey to chaos
The leaders of Western countries are playing this exciting game with the country that has the most nuclear weapons in the world. These countries have wanted to see Russia defeated since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, but this will never happen. Putin said, the US-led military coalition is a victim of chaos.
The Russian President said, Russia never considered Western countries as enemies but America and its allies always tried to isolate Moscow. But now the world is changing. Many powerful countries do not want Russia to be isolated. Therefore the world order is changing. The world no longer wants to see the supremacy of Washington or Brussels.
