President Putin mocks Europe's dependence on the US
(Baonghean.vn) - In an interview on the program "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" of the national television channel Russia-1, Russian President Vladimir Putin mocked Europe's dependence on the United States.
"You know, sometimes it seems to me that whatever is said from the other side of the ocean, European politicians will do everything," President Putin said on television, describing: "If tomorrow they are told: We decided to hang everyone!, they will immediately look down and ask only one question: Can this be done with domestically produced rope?".
However, President Putin said that European leaders would still face difficulties because the US would refuse Europe's offer because, in the end, Washington still wanted such a large order for its textile industry.
In March, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that Washington and its satellites London, Brussels and Warsaw were doing everything to turn “a war to the last Ukrainian” into “a war to the last European”.
Regarding Ukraine's counterattack, President Putin declared that Ukraine's counterattack failed and has not achieved any success since the start of the campaign.
"All attempts by the enemy to break through our defense lines, including the mobilization of strategic reserves, have been unsuccessful. The enemy has not achieved any success yet," Russian President Vladimir Putin said in the interview.
According to President Putin, in the process of dealing with the counterattack, Russia had the opportunity to study Ukraine's military equipment and see what it could use.
