The selfishness and hypocrisy of Western countries has led to a dangerous turn of events and we have come close to a point of no return. Such a statement made today Vladimir Putin, writes Sky News.

Speaking at a meeting with Russian foreign ministry officials, the Kremlin leader issued the ominous warning as he accused Washington of undermining global security because of its exit from arms pacts. He also said the West’s theft of Russian assets would “not remain unpunished”.

“Washington has unilaterally withdrawn from various arms control treaties. The selfishness and arrogance of Western states has led to the current extremely dangerous state of affairs. We have come unacceptably close to the point of no return. Calls to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, which has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons, demonstrate the extreme adventurism of Western politicians. They either do not understand the scale of the threat that they themselves create, or are simply obsessed with the belief in their own impunity and in their own exclusivity. Both of these can result in tragedy”, - said the President of Russia.
