Putin asserts that the decline of Western hegemony will lead to a more stable multipolar international system

Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that the decline of Western hegemony would push the world towards a more stable and free multipolar international system.

In his speech during the plenary session of the Valdai International Dialogue Forum, Putin said that the Russian warnings regarding Kaliningrad do not fall within the framework of a threat, but rather come in response to attempts to intimidate Russia, warning that Moscow will resort to all types of weapons if any part of its territory is attacked.
