Putin says ‘arrogant’ West risking global conflict in Victory day speech

Al Jazeera  

In Victory Day speech, Russian president says his forces are in a ‘state of combat readiness’. Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the “arrogant” West of risking a global conflict, warning the nuclear power’s “strategic forces” are combat-ready, as he marked the Soviet victory over Germany in World War II. Our strategic forces are always in a state of combat readiness.” Victory Day has become Russia’s most important public holiday as Putin puts the country firmly on a combat footing. Putin casts the ongoing war as part of a struggle with the West, which he says humiliated Russia after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 by encroaching on what he considers Moscow’s sphere of influence.
