“It was a very powerful speech,” Adriel Kasonta, a London-based foreign affairs analyst and former chairman of the International Affairs Committee at the Bow Group think tank, told Sputnik.
“It is related to the foreign policy that Russia is pivoting away from the West, that it’s putting a strong emphasis on having closer ties with its BRICs partners and allies and also puts a strong emphasis on national rejuvenation,” the analyst continued.
During his speech, Putin pointed out that Russia is on track to becoming one of the world’s four largest economies in the near future. He drew attention to the fact that last year, the Russian economy grew faster than the global average and outpaced any growth seen in the G7 states.
