Putin: Russia has realized that it will not be considered until it declares itself

Russia realized that it would not be considered until it declared itself as a sovereign and powerful power. This was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on July 13.

"It became clear that until we declare ourselves as an independent, sovereign power capable of defending our future, they will not take account of us," the head of state said in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin, published on the Telegram channel.

As Putin noted, this became obvious after all the unfriendly actions of the West towards Russia after the collapse of the USSR.

"We stand for a just world order"
