Putin accused NATO of destabilising the region and dismissed claims that Russia triggered the war. He was referring to the 2013-14 pro-European uprising that toppled Ukraine’s then-President Viktor Yanukovych. Russia responded to the revolution by annexing Crimea and backing separatists in eastern Ukraine. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are also attending. Moscow and Beijing have promoted the SCO as a counterweight to Western-led alliances. Putin argues the world needs a system that would replace outdated Eurocentric and Euro-Atlantic models.
