Putin accuses US of 'trying to prolong Ukraine war, destabilize region'

Moscow, Aug 18:-- Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of attempting to prolong the conflict in Ukraine and seeking to destabilize the Asia-Pacific region, in a reference to the US interference in Taiwan.

"The situation in Ukraine shows that the US is trying to prolong this conflict. And they act in exactly the same way, fuelling the potential for conflict in Asia, Africa, and Latin America," Putin said at the opening ceremony of the Moscow international security conference on Tuesday.

Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine in late February, following Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements and Moscow’s recognition of the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in east Ukraine.

At the time, Putin said one of the goals of what he called a “special military operation” was to “de-Nazify” Ukraine.

Russia has repeatedly warned that the Western supply of weapons to Ukraine accompanied by crippling sanctions on Moscow would prolong the ongoing war, which is already into its sixth month.

Putin said denounced US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent controversial visit to Taiwan, calling it “a carefully planned provocation”.
