Putin criticizes the West's ongoing moral decline, emphasizing that NATO should fulfill its promise not to expand eastward.

【Putin: The West Has No Civilization, Only Continuous Decay】

On December 17, 2025, Moscow time, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at the expanded meeting of the Russian Ministry of Defense Board:

It has been proven that the West has no civilization, only continuous decline! After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the West used force, including armed means, to push all decisions that expand their influence towards Russia. The West uses destructive tools to disrupt the internal political situation in Russia. The West supports separatism and terrorism to exert pressure on Russia.

Putin added:

When the West attacked Yugoslavia, it did not care about the UN Charter at all! Yugoslavia and Serbians were torn apart, a nation was torn apart.

Putin emphasized:

Russia insists that NATO fulfill its commitment not to expand eastward!
