Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the West of causing the high inflation that is shaking the world, causing the stratosphere to rise in fuel and basic food prices, saying that the rise in prices was not due to war but to sanctions. .

In a speech full of criticism, Putin said the West acted selfishly.

"I want to emphasize that the blame for this situation lies with the elites of Western countries, who are ready to sacrifice the rest of the world to maintain global dominance," said the Russian president.

Putin added that Russian phobia of Western countries is likely to damage their interests and economies and spread hunger around the world, while Russia expects record harvest.

"We expect good harvests this year. Cereals can reach 130 million tons, including 87 million tons of wheat. "If this happens, and we are optimistic, then it will be a record in the whole history of Russia," Putin said.

Meanwhile, nuclear rhetoric has returned from Moscow.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said that the supply of weapons to Ukraine from NATO countries, the training of its troops in the use of Western equipment, the deployment of mercenaries and the holding of border exercises increase the possibility of an open and directly between Russia and NATO.

According to Medvedev, such a conflict is always in danger of turning into a total nuclear war, which would be a catastrophic scenario for everyone.

On the other hand, the European Union and Japan confirmed in Tokyo unity against the Russian occupation of Ukraine and pledged to apply strong sanctions against Russia. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, expressed concern about the axis of Russian-Chinese cooperation.

"This brings us to Russia, which today is the most direct threat to the world order with the barbaric war against Ukraine, its ties with China and bilateral calls for a more arbitrary relationship," said Ursula von der Leyen.

Japan and the European Union have said they will step up cooperation even in the face of a more aggressive China.
