Moscow: President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday accused the West of wanting "to be done with" Russia, as he gave his state of the nation address.
"Western elites are not hiding their goal - to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. It means to be done with us once and for all," Putin said ahead of the first anniversary of the military intervention.
