Vladimir Putin accused, on Tuesday August 16, the United States of dragging out the Ukrainian conflict and of seeking to “destabilize” the world with a recent visit to Taiwan by Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.
“The situation in Ukraine shows that the United States is trying to drag out this conflict. And it is doing the same by cultivating the possibility of conflict in Asia, in Africa, in Latin America”said Vladimir Putin in an address to the International Conference on Security in Moscow.
“The American adventure with Taiwan is not just the journey of an irresponsible politician, but part of a conscious intentional strategy to destabilize and chaotic the situation in the region and the world. “he said.
It’s a “an insolent demonstration of their lack of respect for the sovereignty of other countries and their international obligations”continued Vladimir Putin, castigating a “carefully prepared provocation”.
Relations between the United States and Russia, which has been leading an offensive in Ukraine since February 24 and has repeatedly denounced American arms deliveries to the Ukrainian regime in recent months, are experiencing a period of unprecedented tension.
Targeted by a series of very heavy Western sanctions because of the Ukrainian conflict, Russia is seeking to strengthen its relations with the countries of Africa and Asia, particularly with China. Moscow had already called “provocation” the early August visit of Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, which provoked the ire of Beijing.
