Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted that he previously had a naive idea that the whole world understood that Russia had become different, the ideology had become different and there were no reasons for confrontation.

In fact, the head of state noted, after the collapse of the USSR, the West wanted to destroy Russia too.

In the desire to destroy the Russian Federation, the West wanted to subjugate our country and use our resources, Vladimir Putin added.
