“We understand that after the collapse of the USSR, the situation in the world is changing, new centers of power are emerging. This naturally should affect the construction, the priorities in the construction of international relations,” said the head of state. Putin stressed that Russia is the successor to the USSR in the legal sense, but it has a different potential.
“We understand this and we agree that the world must change. And we never interfere in this, even within the United Nations, thinking of reforming it, this organization”, explained the head of state. But Putin emphasized that the world should not be built only in the interests of one country, in particular, in the interests of the United States.
