peace is looming....Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed pressing global issues at Sochi’s annual Valdai Club forum on Thursday. Interviewed by renowned foreign affairs expert and RT contributor Fyodor Lukyanov, Putin delved into topics ranging from NATO and international security to the ideological roots of current global tensions, openly challenging Western policies and proposing a multipolar vision for the future. Here are the major takeaways from Putin’s remarks. Putin congratulates ‘courageous’ Trump and expresses willingness to engage with him Putin addressed Donald Trump’s sensational US election victory, calling him a “courageous”politician who has shown resilience despite apparent assassination attempts and legal challenges. Putin said he is “ready to talk” with the American president-elect. READ MORE: Putin congratulates ‘courageous’ Trump
NATO is an ‘anachronism’ and at fault for the Ukraine conflict Putin also took a direct shot at NATO, calling the transatlantic military bloc “an anachronism” that he said serves to incite conflicts rather than foster peace. According to the president, NATO’s expansionist policies were the primary catalyst for the Ukraine conflict. He accused the organization of overstepping its boundaries and creating “security imbalances” that destabilize Eastern Europe. Neoliberalism branded a ‘totalitarian ideology’ Shifting to a broader critique of Western policies, Putin did not hold back in his characterization of neoliberalism.
[It has] become a totalitarian ideology,” he stated, condemning the economic and political model as one that enforces uniformity in ways he claims stifle national sovereignty and traditional values. Putin’s remarks seemed to be aimed not only at Western governments but also at multinational corporations and international institutions that he sees as embodying this worldview.
A call for a ‘multipolar’ world order In keeping with his criticism of the West, Putin portrayed a vision for a new global order that would transcend what he called its “colonial” mindset. He envisions a multipolar world where no nation feels “disadvantaged” or relegated to a lesser role on the world stage. “In this new world order,” he declared, “there should be no winners and losers.” Sanctions have backfired Putin also took the opportunity to address Western sanctions, arguing that they have ultimately backfired, hurting their promoters as much as, if not more than, Russia. “They thought they could cripple us,” he said, referencing the extensive economic sanctions that followed the launch of the Ukraine military operation in February 2022. “But the reality is different – their economies are feeling the strain, and we’ve adapted.” Western civilization ‘not an enemy’ of Russia While much of Putin’s rhetoric was combative toward the West, he clarified that Russia does not view Western civilization itself as an enemy. “Our problem isn’t with Western culture,” he noted, “but with the aggressive policies of their governments.” Putin stressed that he respects Western culture and values the contributions that those countries have made to human civilization. Push for sovereign internet and artificial intelligence Putin reiterated Russia’s ambition to maintain its digital independence through a sovereign internet and homegrown artificial intelligence. He argued that every nation should have its own control over these resources, framing them as key components of national security. “Relying on foreign technology for our digital infrastructure is a risk we can no longer take,” Putin said. RT is ‘resistance’ and Russia’s only way of reaching the West As one of the final points of his four-hour-long speech and Q&A session, Putin addressed his alleged reluctance to give interviews to Western outlets, noting that this wasn’t true and pointing to his interview with famous US journalist Tucker Carlson earlier this year. He added, however, that he doesn’t particularly want to address the population of countries whose governments censor Russian journalists and outlets. https://www.rt.com/russia/607320-putin-valdai-speech-recap/

Ukraine has lost more than 30,000 troops in just three months of fighting since its large-scale incursion into Russia's Kursk Region, President Vladimir Putin told the Valdai Forum on Thursday, noting that the Ukrainian people are paying a “terrible price” for Kiev’s decision to do Washington’s bidding.
Kiev launched an incursion into the region on August 6, deploying some of its best-equipped units. The force was contained by Russian troops and is steadily being pushed back, suffering immense losses, according to Moscow.
“Just look at what is happening now at the front line… They raided the Kursk Region. Well, their losses are colossal – in just three months of fighting, the Kiev regime suffered more casualties than in the whole of last year: over 30,000,” Putin said at the 21st annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi.
