Amid the unprecedented Western sanctions his country faces over its military operation in Ukraine, Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has disclosed why it is impossible to isolate Russia.<\/p>\n
Putin who made this known on Wednesday, eulogized the increasing role of the Asia-Pacific region in global affairs.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter how much someone would like to isolate Russia, it\u2019s impossible to do this,\u201d Putin told the Eastern Economic Forum in Russia\u2019s Pacific port city of Vladivostok.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean the sanctions fever in the West, its undisguised aggressive attempts to impose behaviour patterns on other countries, deprive them of their sovereignty and subordinate them to their will,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The likes of Washington and Brussels have pummeled Russia with a barrage of economic and personal sanctions after Putin sent the Russian military into Ukraine on February 24.<\/p>\n
Facing growing isolation and deteriorating relationship with the West, Russia is seeking to pivot the country toward the Middle East, Asia and Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe role of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region has significantly increased,\u201d Putin said.<\/p>\n
Putin added that partnerships in the region \u201cwill create colossal new opportunities for our people\u201d.<\/p>\n
Russia and Ukraine have been fighting for more than six months and many casualties have already been recorded as a result of the conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
