Vladimir Putin has accused the West of "outright satanism" during a 37-minute tirade at a ceremony announcing the annexation of four Ukrainian territories.
The Russian President and leaders of the four regions signed treaties to annex Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia - a move that has been dismissed as a "sham" by Ukraine and Western nations.
During the 37-minute speech Putin said the West had no right to speak of democracy and that Western nations were acting like the imperialist states they had "always been".
"The dictatorship of the Western elites is directed against all societies, including the peoples of the Western countries themselves," he said in his address on Friday.
"This is a complete denial of humanity, the overthrow of faith and traditional values. Indeed, the suppression of freedom itself has taken on the features of a religion: outright Satanism."

Oh…I thought we were talking about Putin.
I guess you want to have a different discussion.
AHA ! my bad, like the Bidenistas
Long on accusations and suppositions... short on facts
Truth is most Russians love their country and their culture... Putin came to power as a “Russia First” nationalist... In 2015 he formally renounced globalism ... ‘they’ have been out to get him (and Ukraines riches) ever since... you really need to do some homework.. the John Birch Society is dead.
He’s all part of the same cabal and he does own a $Billion$ mansion on the Black Sea from stolen money off the blood of his opponents.
You Putin suckers go to great lengths to make him a saint and “Christian” soldier, when in fact he’s a villain of the worst kind.
Note that Russia is clearly aligned with China and maintains close ties with every Marxist regime on the planet, from North Korea to Venezuela. Putin's moralism is not different from Soviet policy from Stalin to Gorbachev: suppress sexual perversion, not on a Biblical but on a pragmatic basis.
The ruling classes of the Western nations are obsessed with sexual perversion, anti-white bigotry, and derision of Biblical values. At the same time, they oppose the Russian and Chinese challenge to Western hegemony. Russian and Chinese leaders are aware that there are large portions of the Western populations, especially in America, who are revolted by moral degeneracy in their face. So Putin makes the Sign of the Cross and attends Orthodox liturgy, in order to convince Western conservatives that he is Christian. He denounces sexual deviancy, for the same reason. Meanwhile, the CCP, which also suppresses deviancy, bribes Western officials, notably the Biden crime family, to weaken the Western militaries and to promote the ongoing destruction of Western industry and morals.
Thus, the Russians and Chinese are playing a massive game to overtake the U.S. and NATO. Perhaps our decadence makes it inevitable and even deserved. But a Chinese dominated world may be worse than what we have.
That was over a century ago. Since the advent of nuclear weapons the world has stopped annexation by conquest.
Your suspicions are wrong, Russia is NOT a more Christian country than the USA
Abortion rate (percentage of pregnancies that are aborted) in 2019
USA: 20.4
Russian federation: 46
Church attendance 2021
USA 30%
RF 6%
Religion in Russia was hit hard by it first being a branch of the government under the Tsar then being nearly eradicated by the Bolsheviks then becoming a branch of the state again, under Stalin and his successors from 1941 onwards.
Putin doesn’t love Russia, he loves his power.
He spent the 23 years of his dictatorship destroying Russia’s future. Instead of building up its people power, he focused on extraction of resources and selling them and that money lining up his and his cronies pockets.
The smartest Russians left as there is no business environment in Russia, just a nazi style control of industry by the centralized government.
He has out Russia in a dead end war and put it on the path to Chinese vassaldom.
Opinions
Certain irony your last line lol
no, facts - Putin has not improved the Russian people’s Human development index. the trillions earned were gobbled in gold yachts rather than eliminating poverty in Russia.
That’s why the best and brightest of Russia left.
