Putin: Western Globalists Are Destroying the Global Economic System

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Western countries are destroying the existing framework of global economic relations that they helped to build in the first place.
In a statement, Putin added that many countries are opposed to this agenda.
Russia’s leader made the comments while speaking at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
Putin stated that the landscape of the international economy is changing.
This is, in part, because “some countries, primarily Western nations, are destroying the system of financial, trade, and economic relations with their own hands,” he said.
However, this destructive activity coincided with the expansion of “real business cooperation.”
Putin says this involves many nations around the world that resist any external pressure and pursue their own national interests.
“They prioritize not temporary political events, but the promotion of their own projects… that bring direct and long-term benefits to their populations,” Putin said.
He added that this leads to the emergence of a new international model.
This new model, Putin explained, is “shaped not by Western standards [and] catering to the selected ‘golden billion,’ but all of humanity… and the developing multipolar world.”
Putin’s comments come after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in September that the BRICS economic group – which recently announced an unprecedented expansion – and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) are gaining more international clout.
Lavrov asserted that many nations seek to bypass Western-dominated international institutions that fail to address their grievances.
In June, he also estimated that one in four countries in the world is to some extent sanctioned by the US or European nations.
According to Lavrov, this means that the West is using the global economy “as an instrument of coercion, blackmail, and punishment.”
Western countries imposed particularly harsh sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine conflict.
The sanctions have included the freezing of Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves to the tune of around $600 billion.
Moscow has condemned this move as “theft.”
