Iran Press/ Europe: Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out that while the United States often considers the use of cluster munitions a crime, it sends these weapons to Ukraine ro be used by Kiyv forces as a proxy.
Putin during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko in Sochi, said: "It is the United States who uses cluster munitions. In this case, they just do it through the Ukrainian Army, and while the US thinks that it is a crime, but allows itself to perpetrate it."
He continued, "This is the main problem in international relations. And this is why the majority of the participants of the international community strive together with us to create the multipolar world."
The Russian leader indicated that the US attempts to resolve any challenges it faces through force, threats, or economic embargoes.
Putin affirmed that his country does not pose a threat to any side, adding that US officials themselves admit that the real threat comes from the White House.
Russian Presidebt noted: "A few years ago, a former US secretary of defense Mr. Gates, I believe – said that the biggest threat to the United States comes from the territory where the Capitol is located, I believe, or the White House."
Touching on the chances of negotiations with Ukraine, Putin stated that Moscow has never refused to negotiate with Kiyv, but the latter has yet to indicate a desire to sit for talks.
"I’ve said before, we have never refused to negotiate, so please, if the other side wants it, it must speak about it directly," the Russian President made it clear, adding that Moscow currently hears nothing from the other side regarding the matter.
