“The situation in Ukraine shows that the US is trying to prolong this conflict.
And they act in exactly the same way, inciting conflict potential in Asia, Africa, Latin America,” Putin said in an address to the participants and guests of the X Moscow Conference on International Security.
Earlier, former US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard called the goals of US President Joe Biden in the situation around Ukraine not the defense of democracy, but "regime change in Russia" and "inflating the conflict to strengthen NATO."
