Vladimir Putin believes that the West wants to pursue a policy of deterrence against Russia. The President announced that the United States would find a pretext for making anti-punishment even without events in Ukraine and in the Crimea. In his address to the Federal Assembly, the President announced that the policy of containment was conducted for decades or even centuries. When Russia became overly powerful against her steps were taken. The head of state stressed that communicate with the RF from a position of strength makes no sense. "Every people has the inalienable right to their own path of development, and Russia will always treat it with respect, " said a Russian favorite. "If for some European countries sovereignty and national pride - forgotten concepts and luxury, for Russia it is absolutely necessary. According to him, the United States directly put pressure on the neighboring Russian Federation country: "it is no coincidence that mentioned our American friends because they are either directly or as a consequence of the scenes constantly affect our relations with neighbors. Occasionally you do not even know with whom to communicate better with the governments of certain countries either directly with their American benefactors and sponsors". With all of this, our state does not intend to curtail relations with Europe and America. Putin stressed that Russia will protect the diversity of the world, to defend the truth, not to give to distort her image all over the world. "Russia is not allowed to put themselves on the path of disintegration and dismemberment on the Yugoslav scenario, as it is not allowed Hitler", - concluded the head of state.
