Russian President Vladimir Putin harshly criticized Western nations during a speech at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, accusing them of failing to condemn what he called "state terrorism" from Kiev. This assessment comes amid the fifth year of Russia's ongoing invasion of neighboring Ukraine. Despite Ukrainian attacks that have inflicted billions of dollars worth of damage on critical infrastructure, including oil refineries, Putin maintained that Moscow possesses ample resources to continue the conflict.
"The Russian economy is in a completely stable state," he told the forum, addressing public concerns over the situation's stability. Putin acknowledged ongoing challenges but stressed that conditions are under control. Ukraine's ongoing blockade of Russian airspace, as threatened by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was described by Putin as "state terrorism."
He also criticized Western nations for not reacting to Kiev's threats, asserting that their inaction renders them complicit in international terrorism. This stance could complicate any potential negotiations aimed at ending the war, according to Putin. He argued that such discussions are feasible and should primarily involve Moscow and Kiev.
Russia expressed gratitude to countries contributing to the conflict, citing the United States and China as examples.
