Putin: the U.S. is making every desperate effort to impose a world-wide neocolonialist dictatorship
MOSCOW, JUN.18, (ST)-The West has failed to contain or isolate Russia, President Vladimir Putin said in his article for North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun newspaper ahead of a state visit to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
“No matter how hard they tried, all their attempts to contain or isolate Russia have failed. We continue to steadily build up our economic capability, develop our industry, technologies, infrastructure, science, education and culture,” the Russian leader said.
He added: “In essence, the U.S. is making every desperate effort to impose on the world the so-called “order based on rules” which is nothing but a world-wide neocolonialist dictatorship based on the “double standards”.
The U.S. and its followers are openly claiming that their aim is to deal “strategic defeat” to Russia.
They are doing everything they can do to delay and further aggravate the conflicts in Ukraine triggered by them by backing and fabricating the armed coup in Kiev in 2014 and the war in the Donbas area afterward.
Russia is ready to have an equal dialogue on all the most complicated issues in the past and in the future, too.”
Putin will be on a friendly state visit in the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, on June 18-19. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un invited Putin to pay a return visit during his stay in Russia last September. While the Russian president accepted the invitation at once, the perfect conditions for a visit have just aligned.
