Putin accuses the West of turning the people of Ukraine into cannon fodder | Video

Moscow (Russia), Aug 16 (EFE), (Camera: Maxim Shipenkov).- Russian President Vladimir Putin today accused the United States and the West of turning the people of Ukraine into cannon fodder, because they need conflicts to "preserve their hegemony".

"To preserve their hegemony they need conflicts. Precisely for this reason they prepared the role of cannon fodder for the people of Ukraine," the Kremlin chief said in a video message to the participants of the Tenth International Conference in Moscow.

He added that to that same end "they executed the 'anti-Russia' project, closed their eyes to the spread of neo-Nazi ideology, to the mass murders in the Donbas, stuffed and continue to stuff the Kiev regime with weapons, even heavy weapons."
