Putin: our activity in world affairs will only increase

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during the ceremony of presenting his credentials, told foreign ambassadors that Russia “does not accept bloc confrontation” and any actions that run counter to the UN Charter.

According to Putin, Russia has neither biased nor “even more hostile intentions towards anyone,” and therefore expects its partners to adhere to the same approach and build relationships on the basis of “equality and mutual consideration of interests.”

“No matter how much anyone wants,” Putin added, “our activity in world affairs will only increase.”
