Russian President Vladimir Putin’s remarks at the XXII annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club underscore a clear rupture in ties between Moscow and Europe. Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of Southeastern Norway, expressed this view on October 3, stating that the political landscape has shifted decisively. “My main conclusion from Putin’s speech yesterday is that Asia is the future; Russia can cooperate with America, but Russia is done with Europe,” the analyst wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).
