The West wants to drag other countries and peoples into the conflict

Putin: The West wants to drag other countries and peoples into the conflict and create a real wave of chaos and mutual hatred not only in the Middle East but also beyond its borders. To this end, they are trying, among other things, to play on people’s national and religious feelings. This policy has been in place for a long time. Muslims are being played off against Jews, Shiites against Sunnis, Orthodox Christians against Catholics. In Ukraine, they are working to ban the canonical Orthodox Church and deepen the schism in the Church. The purpose of these actions is clear: to multiply instability in the world.
