Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the United States Friday of trying to 'remake the whole world' based on its own interests and imposing a 'unilateral diktat' on the rest of the world.
Putin spoke fiercely against the West and referred to the U.S. as the 'so-called winners of the Cold War' in a 40-minute diatribe Friday where he denied trying to rebuild the Soviet empire at the expense of Russia's neighbors.
'Statements that Russia is trying to reinstate some sort of empire,' Putin said, 'that it is encroaching on the sovereignty of its neighbors, are groundless.'
Putin spoke to a group of political scholars known as the Valdai Club, which reportedly included Western specialists critical of him, at an annual meeting in a resort above the Black Sea city of Sochi.
Putin faulted the U.S.'s actions in conflicts including, Syria, Iraq, and Libya and said that Washington's policies do not strengthen peace and democracy.
Putin said that the U.S.'s 'unilateral diktat' and 'imposing of schemes' weaken both peace and democracy.
Putin also accused the U.S. of trying to cast Russia in a negative light, leading people to view Russia as a danger to the rest o the world. However, Putin warns that the U.S. has made the world a dangerous place with its approach to global affairs.
