Absolutely nothing, Putin should be a Russian first, and put other Russian's best interests first in his policies. Furthermore, Putin owes nothing to Americans, but has demonstrated that he occasionally warns us about terrorists planning operations in the US.
Indeed, from a position of a Russian self-identity, they aren’t part of the West (thus not the part of the East too).
Their language had histoprical definition for both and it sounds alienating.
Definition for Western people was borrowed from the Poles - “niemtsy” - roughly translated from Polish as “people uncapable to speak in human language”.
Non-Christian people of the East and South were called “paganiy” = filthy in modern Russian. BTW, it is where an English “pagan” came from.
None of these words are used in that meaning today but the mood is still the same.
