Putin’s comments appear to be a part of a broader narrative where he criticises Western nations for what many see as moral and ethical failings.
Analysts suggest that this rhetoric aims to resonate with the Russian population and a growing international population and nations disillusioned by Western influence and to bolster nationalist sentiments.
The remarks were made in the context of discussing geopolitical tensions and economic disparities.
International reaction has been swift, with various western leaders and organisations condemning the statement as divisive and incendiary while majority on nations and Human Rights activists applauded his courage in a monopolar world.
The implications of Putin’s words may throw the spanner in Western imperialist nations’ plans while bolstering confidence and patriotism in nations fighting imperialism.
