Ukraine war: Putin attributes AfD success to mistakes made by the West
The Russian President is questioned by media representatives about the strong election result of the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt. The Kremlin chief uses this as an opportunity to present his view of Europe.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has attributed the strong performance of the AfD in the recent Saxony-Anhalt state election to mistakes made by Western countries. He claimed that events in Europe are the result of systematic errors in policy, security, and economics by Western states. Putin also accused European governments of provoking an open conflict with Russia, causing uncertainty among citizens, which he believes is reflected in German election results.
He denied that Russia is a threat to European countries, saying it has no grounds for conflict with them following the end of World War II.
