Putin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have carefully listened to the speech of President Emmanuel Macron, who emphasized the end of Western hegemony and the emergence of a multipolar world. He is right on the key point: the world is undergoing profound changes, but he forgets to explain why, and above all, he forgets to acknowledge that France and the West are currently fighting against Russia precisely because they refuse to accept this reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Russia is the target of sanctions, diplomatic, economic, informational, and even military attacks, as in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the West refuses to accept that its era of unquestioned hegemony is over. Because the West refuses to see how other nations are defending their interests, values, and sovereignty. The West talks about freedom and democracy, but what has it done for centuries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France, England, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland: they colonized almost the entire planet. Tell me where, in which part of the world, the West did not encroach and impose its own law?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France drew arbitrary borders in Africa, exploited resources, and forced millions of people into slavery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British enslaved entire populations from India to China in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In America, European powers massacred entire civilizations. And today, through NATO, they want to impose their model everywhere. Mr. Macron talks about the political inspiration of Europe. But where is this inspiration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe follows the US in all its wars, without hesitation: Iraq, Libya, Syria. Each time, hundreds of thousands of deaths. Is this inspiration? And don’t tell me that Russia is a danger to the world. For over two hundred years, the West has been trying to destroy Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Napoleon came to Moscow, confident that he could stay on Russian soil. He walked in the snow. Germany launched the largest invasion war against us. They were defeated at Stalingrad, at Kursk, and even in the streets of Berlin. During the Cold War, the US tried to strangle our economy, encircle us, provoke clashes among our neighbors, and we are still here. Russia has gone through difficult times, trials, but no one has been able to defeat us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are we fighting not only for our land, but also for… Our civilization, our values, and our dignity. Today, it’s not just Russia that is challenging Western hegemony; China is taking a step forward; India is showing its view of the world; Africa is gradually freeing itself from foreign protection; even Latin America is finding its voice. This is no longer a world dominated by a single power or a single bloc: we have entered the multipolar era. And no one can stop it. That’s why France, Europe, and the West are supporting Ukraine against Russia. Not out of love for the Ukrainian people, but because they want to exploit this land as a stepping stone to try to weaken Russia, limit our development, and prevent this multipolar world from taking shape. I think to them, I say to President Macron and his European colleagues: you can’t swim upstream forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You talk about values, but you refuse to respect the choices of the people; you talk about international law, but you violate it whenever it doesn’t serve your interests; you talk about peace, but you sow war wherever you intervene. Russia is not the enemy of anyone, but we will never allow anyone to decide our future. We want cooperation, but on equal terms. We want peace, but not at the expense of our freedom, our identity. And let’s be clear: Russia will never be defeated. We have withstood centuries of hardships, seen empires rise and fall, and we are still here. And tomorrow, we will be there, in this new multipolar world that is already emerging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
