And what about the European Union? Are they on their way to becoming the liberal, latte with almond milk peace-and-love version of the Soviet Union or not?
Most of the questions are strictly business-related. They almost seem boring to Putin. Budget matters for bond lords doesn’t really get him going. When the questions turn to geopolitics, Putin can talk a horse off a meat wagon.Putin sews doubts that new Ukrainian leader Volodymir Zelenskiy can solve the crisis in the Donbass.On Ukraine’s new president Volodymyr Zelensky, Putin was asked for his impression of the comedic actor-turned-president.
Things got worse in the relationship when ethnic Russia militias in the region of Ukraine known as the Donbass decided to build a separatist movement with tacit support from the Kremlin. An estimated 13,000 people have died in what many have referred to as a civil war between official Ukraine and the pro-Russian separatists. It led to harsher sanctions on Russia, further isolating the country from the West.
Putin also didn’t seem too worried about Europe ditching Russian gas in favor of windmills and solar panels.
