After Crimea, Putin became a world leader - senator
Reunification with Crimea became the starting point for Russia’s return as a global player, and subsequent participation in the fight against terrorists in Syria allowed the Russian army to “test out” modern weapons.
Russian Senator Igor Morozov stated this at the conference "Crimea in Modern Geopolitics," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The President made such a speech at the UN General Assembly and said that if you do not unite,” I interpret freely, “then we will go alone to fight international terrorism. What did the Syrian theater of military operations give us? He gave us the opportunity to test all types of new weapons, including those based on new physical principles. We have once again begun to rise into the geopolitical orbit as a global player. Putin became a world leader, in fact, after Crimea, during the Syrian campaign,” Morozov said.
