Putin lashes out at US over Ukraine, Taiwan
Potential for conflict in Asia, Africa and Latin America
16 August, 18:58
(ANSA-AFP) - MOSCOW, AUG 16 - Russian President Vladimir
Putin on Tuesday accused Washington of seeking to prolong the
conflict in Ukraine and of fuelling conflicts elsewhere in the
world, including with the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
to Taiwan. "The situation in Ukraine shows that the US is trying
to prolong this conflict. And they act in exactly the same way,
fuelling the potential for conflict in Asia, Africa and Latin
America," Putin said in televised remarks. "The American
adventure in relation to Taiwan is not just a trip of an
individual irresponsible politician, but part of a purposeful,
conscious US strategy to destabilise and make chaotic the
situation in the region and the world," he added. (ANSA-AFP).
