Putin: I do not intend to rebuild the Russian Empire

"We have predicted that speculation will begin on this issue - that Russia would restore its imperial borders. This is absolutely untrue," said President Vladimir Putin in talks with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev in Moscow. According to him, after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Russia "recognized all the new geopolitical realities and is actively working to strengthen our interaction with all independent countries that emerged in the post-Soviet space."

"Even in acute, very acute situations, such as the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh, we have always acted very carefully, taking into account the interests of all countries involved in this process, and we have always tried to reach mutually acceptable solutions," Putin said.
