Russia not looking for global power clash: Putin

Moscow | President Vladimir Putin has accused the West of risking a global conflict, saying no one would be allowed to threaten the world’s biggest nuclear power as Russia marked the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.

As Russian troops advance against Ukraine’s Western-backed forces on Thursday, Mr Putin accused “arrogant” Western elites of forgetting the decisive role played by the Soviet Union in defeating Nazi Germany, and of stoking conflicts across the world.
