Gorbachev noted the desire of the West to appropriate a victory in the Cold War

“They boasted, and then, by the way, the media began to do it. At the same time, they never thought about how the Russians in Russia would take it, who did so much to put an end to the Cold War and the arms race, ”he said.

Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin in an interview with RT Arabic, Sky News Arabia and Al Arabiya assessed the possibility of an arms race leading to a new Cold War.

In June at the plenary session of the SPIEF-2019, Putin acknowledged that the architecture of the global economy has changed since the end of the Cold War.
