Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday world powers should draw lessons from their mistakes and stop interfering in crisis-hit nations of North Africa and the Middle East

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday world powers should draw lessons from their mistakes and stop interfering in crisis-hit nations of North Africa and the Middle East.
  
Interference from abroad "is fraught with instability and chaos," Putin told a Kremlin ceremony for newly arriving ambassadors in televised remarks. "In recent years, life has taught us the truth of what we have been saying. It is time to finally draw lessons from what is happening," the Russian leader said.
  
Putin has in recent years fought bitterly with the West over its air campaign against close ally Libya and efforts to force Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad to step down.
  
Russia has also condemned ‘Israel’ for threatening the use of force in Iran and attempted to position itself as the defender of international law at the United Nations.
