MOSCOW, February 10 Questions that Russian President Vladimir Putin raised in his Munich 2007 speech years, in particular those relating to international security, do not lose their relevance today, said Vyacheslav Nikonov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs. February 10 marks 15 years since Putin delivered his famous speech at the Munich Security Conference. He harshly criticized US foreign policy and the idea of a unipolar world order, and spoke out sharply against plans for NATO expansion and the deployment of American missile defense facilities in Eastern Europe. 11:14Putin was right in his speech in Munich about unipolarity, Austria said»When the world's largest military alliance, which accounts for 80% of world military spending, approaches your borders, this naturally creates security problems. Putin spoke loudly about this 15 years ago,” Nikonov wrote in the Telegram channel. As the parliamentarian noted, “before the Munich speech, many in the West continued to celebrate “victory” in the Cold War and did not notice Russia at all as a geopolitical entity,” then Putin recalled the existence of sovereign Russia. Today, the politician added, the questions posed by the leader of the Russian Federation do not lose their relevance. «We warned: the further expansion of NATO will reach the point where we will be forced to respond. And now the whole range of questions that Putin posed back then is most acutely on the agenda day,» Nikonov stated.
