Sept 11 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that events in Europe, including the far-right victory in a German state election, were the result of “system errors” committed by globalists in the West.
Putin said he would offer no comment on Sunday’s top result for the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, but then added that Western elites were to blame for events on the continent, including the election.
“I think that everything happening in Europe right now is basically the result of system errors by the so-called West … the Western globalists in politics, security, and economics,” Putin told reporters in a pool report on the first day of his visit to India.
