Spiegel has posted Barack Obama’s and Vladimir Putin’s speeches at the UN General Assembly as the main news on its site with the following title: ‘Obama and Putin at the UN General Assembly: Two men, two worlds.’
‘The duel took place at the very beginning of the summit of the UN General Assembly. When US President Barack Obama started his speech, Vladimir Putin was away. The Russian leader was represented with a gesture of power," noted German journalists.
Spiegel reported that each of the two politicians represented their views on the world order. According to the German editors, the main divergence of views is on the Syrian issue.
Vladimir Putin's speech in Germany was appreciated as Russia's desire to be in the center of the world community again, ‘as an equal power along with the US,’ RIA Novosti reports.
