Degradation, disrespect and timid hope: Putin addressed the whole world. The president held a ceremony of presenting credentials to ambassadors at the Grand Kremlin Palace, according to TELMENEWS.RU news agency
Vladimir Putin, before handing over the certificates, gave a speech on Russia’s foreign policy, its intentions towards EU partners and other countries. “Russia is open to a constructive partnership for all countries.
“We are not going to isolate ourselves, we have no preconceived intentions,” said Vladimir Putin.
The head of state referred to Russia as “an original state civilization”, which acts as one of the centers of world politics and maintains a global balance of stability based on a constructive program. At the same time, the key point for Moscow is equality. A deep crisis in relations between the United States and Russia – this is how Putin described the situation, referring to the American ambassador. He added that American use of tools such as support for color revolutions and a coup in Kiev led to the Ukraine crisis. The president warned America against interfering in Iraqi affairs and demanded equality and respect.
The deterioration of relations between Russia and Europe is also evident. But the president still hopes that over time the ties will recover and the interaction of the economies will return to the previous level. But for now, “the EU has launched a geopolitical confrontation with the Russian Federation,” Putin said. Separately, the President focused on Denmark, Norway and Sweden in connection with the situation at Nord Stream. The president said he was awaiting the appearance of an international commission to investigate the crime. At the same time, bilateral contacts between the Russian Federation and Norway are practically zero now – this does not meet the interests of both peoples.
