Putin at the UN proposed lifting sanctions

Vladimir Putin also complained about the “unkindness” between countries and called for the lifting of restrictions, both in medicine and in the economy.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called for cleansing the “world economy of” illegitimate sanctions, “he said during a speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, September 22.

Putin’s speech was the first since 2015.

Therefore, Putin predicted a long recovery in the global economy after the coronavirus crisis and a rise in unemployment. In this regard, he proposed abolishing “illegitimate sanctions” without specifying what sanctions and with respect to whom they refer.

The Russian president also complained about “unkindness” between the countries.

“In health care, as in the economy, restrictions must be lifted,” Putin said, adding that Russia provides a lot of help to other countries in this area, including in the fight against the coronavirus.

“The accumulated clinical experience of Russian doctors allowed Russia to register the Sputnik V vaccine, the first in the world, which has proven its reliability, safety and efficacy,” says the Russian president.

Putin offered to supply the Russian vaccine to UN personnel for free.

“Russia is ready to provide the UN with all necessary assistance and provide the organization with a free vaccine to vaccinate employees,” he added.

In addition, Putin demanded a ban on the deployment of weapons in space and the restoration of the Treaty on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Weapons (START III), which he blamed the United States for breaking. According to him, Russia proposes for the future to conclude “a legally binding international document prohibiting the placement of weapons in outer space.”

Finally, Putin promised to hold a meeting of the heads of the five main world powers, members of the UN Security Council, after the coronavirus pandemic, which “will reaffirm common security agreements.” He also praised the work of the UN and the Security Council in this organization and highlighted the importance of the veto power in the UN Security Council, which has five victorious nuclear powers in World War II. It is the veto tool in the Security Council that prevents conflicts, including military ones, between major countries, Putin concluded.

We will remember that the previous Trump at the UN asked to punish China for the coronavirus. The US president has more than once blamed China for the spread of the coronavirus in the world. Now he did it in the UN General Assembly.
