Western countries have been imposing sanctions on anything and everything Russian, from oil and gas sales to even Russian-bred cats and classes on Russian writers, sparking comments of rampant Russophobia in the West.

Putin said on Wednesday that the West was trying to punish Russia by persecuting Russians and by cracking down on Russian music, culture, and literature.

"By attempting to cancel Russia, the West has lifted the mask of decency and is acting like louts, showing its true colours," Putin said.
