According to them, Putin's statement indicates that there is a struggle with the West in the world, which is of crucial importance.
“Putin raised a rather difficult question, since it is very difficult to decide what should be called the West today in terms of socio-economic organization,” Kevehazi and Bogar noted.
At present, the West has lost its unity, there are fundamental differences between Europe and the United States, they concluded.
Earlier, Putin, in an address to the participants and guests of the X Moscow Conference on International Security, said that Western countries are trying to maintain hegemony by implementing a policy of containment, undermining any alternative development paths for other countries.
As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized, Russia is firmly committed to the principle of the sovereign equality of states and is expanding cooperation with most countries.
