In this June 18, 2022 article for CNN, Ivana Kottasová, Sugam Pokharel, and Radina Gigova report on the speech given by Russian President Vladimir Putin during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum last June 17, 2022.

Here are some of Putin’s statements included in the article:

• “When they won the Cold War, the US declared themselves God’s own representatives on earth, people who have no responsibilities — only interests. They have declared those interests sacred. Now it’s one-way traffic, which makes the world unstable.”
• “They live in the past on their own under their own delusions … They think that … they have won and then everything else is a colony, a back yard. And the people living there are second-class citizens.”
• “Their intention is clear to crush the Russian economy by breaking down the chain the logistical chains, freezing national assets, and attacking the living standards, but they were not successful. It has not worked out. Russian business people have rallied together working diligently, conscientiously, and step-by-step, we are normalizing the economic situation”.

The article also traced the events leading up to Russia’s decision to attack Ukraine, as well as stated Russia’s position regarding the EU’s decision to recommend Ukraine as an EU candidate.

Editor’s Note: If the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum happened in the months when the anti-Russian propaganda was in full swing, then we can expect a very different narrative from CNN. Though this article is not entirely pro-Putin, we are now seeing an attempt at neutrality, where the CNN editors have allowed the actual words from Putin to be published.

It is also proof that despite all the sanctions meant to bring down Russia, the country continues to fare better than expected, and that the sanctions have backfired on the US and its NATO conspirators.^[1]https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/03/business/economy/russia-sanctions-global-economy.html, … Continue reading
