Hoewel we een topic ‘Rusland’ hebben, zou een eigen topic voor Vladimir Putin ook wel terecht zijn, gezien zijn grote invloed op de wereldpolitiek tot nu toe, en zijn, zeer waarschijnlijk nog groter wordende, invloed in de toekomst. Als eerste post het interview door Tucker Carlson van februari dit jaar.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has responded to a claim by his former US counterpart, Donald Trump, that he had threatened him with a strike against Moscow, saying that he “doesn’t remember” such a conversation.

Putin added that such comments are normal election campaign talk in the US. He made his remarks at press conference following the conclusion of the BRICS Summit in Kazan on Thursday. Asked whether Trump’s claims in a recent interview were true, the president replied that the idea of trying to threaten Russia is counterproductive.

“I don’t remember such a conversation with Mr. Trump,” the Russian president said. “The US presidential campaign is currently at such a heated a stage, I would suggest not to take anyone’s statements too seriously.”

Addressing the alleged threat on principle, Putin said it was “pointless to threaten Russia, since this only emboldens us.”

Earlier this week, in a meeting with Wall Street Journal editors, Trump told a storyabout a conversation he allegedly had with Putin at some point during his presidency. According to Trump, he told Putin that if Russia went “after Ukraine,”the US would “hit you so hard” and “right in the middle” of Moscow.

When Putin purportedly voiced his disbelief, Trump claimed to have said, “You’re going to be hit so hard, and I’m going to take those f**king domes right off your head.” The US politician apparently confused the Kremlin with the nearby St. Basil’s Cathedral.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the current Russia-Ukraine conflict would not have happened had he stayed in office after 2020, and that he would find a way to end it within days of getting re-elected.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the West’s duplicity in its dealings with Moscow, and its broader “hypocrisy,” saying Russia will no longer tolerate the broken promises of NATO and its allies. Speaking at the conclusion of the BRICS summit in Kazan, on Thursday, Putin emphasized his dissatisfaction with the West’s disregard for international agreements and fairness.

“Is it fair to lie to our faces about NATO not expanding, and then expand it anyway?” Putin asked, referring to assurances given to Russia in the 1990s. He also criticized the 2014 US-backed Maidan coup in Ukraine –which ousted the country’s democratically elected president Victor Yanukovich – saying it was a violation of international law. He added that it had led directly to the ongoing conflict between Kiev and Moscow.

“There is no justice here,” Putin remarked. “We want to change this situation. And we will achieve it.”

The Russian president also rejected recent claims by UK intelligence that Moscow was responsible for unrest in the UK, dismissing them as “nonsense.” Putin argued that any problems in Britain were due to its own domestic policies, not Russian interference.

Russia is not interested in perpetuating conflict but wants fairness in global politics, Putin added. “We want to change this situation, and we will achieve it,” he said firmly. He criticized the West for pushing policies that harm both international law and diplomacy, suggesting that Russia will not stand idly by.

His comments come amid rising tensions between Russia and NATO, with Putin highlighting what he sees as the West’s continual hypocrisy on security matters.

The head of the British Security Service (MI5), Ken McCallum, claimed earlier this month that the UK support for Ukraine has made London a target of Russian propaganda and subterfuge, seeking more power and government funding to deal with the alleged threat.

Trump will have to make first move with Putin – Time​

Russian President Vladimir Putin is under no pressure to negotiate with the US, and President-elect Donald Trump will have to make the first move if he wants to make a deal to end the Ukraine conflict, a former US official has told Time Magazine.

Trump repeatedly promised on the campaign trail to end the conflict within “24 hours,” a statement viewed in Moscow as a campaign season exaggeration. However, Trump said on Thursday that he and Putin would probably speak in the near future, while Putin said that he would be open to a call, and that “it wouldn’t be beneath me to call him myself.”

“There’s no pressure on [Putin] to negotiate,”
a former US official told Time on Friday. The official, whom the magazine claimed has “high-level contacts in both Washington and Moscow,” pointed out that the battlefield situation currently favors Russia, giving Putin little reason to seek a speedy end to the conflict.

”The Russians will be interested” in a deal, Time’s source said. “I’m sure they’ve got a lot of feelers out about the menu of options. But they are not going to respond until the US decides what it wants to offer.”
 
🚨🇷🇺 Key points from Putin's recent address after the use of Western long-range missiles on Russian territory:

- On November 19, 6 ATACMS missiles and on November 21, Storm Shadow systems struck targets in the Kursk and Bryansk regions, air defense systems repelled the missile attacks. There were casualties in the Kursk region.

- The conflict in Ukraine has acquired elements of a global character after attacks by long-range Western missiles on Russia

- Putin announced a successful test of the newest medium-range missile "Oreshnik", their modern air defense systems do not intercept, these missiles attack targets at a speed of 10 Mach, this is 2.5-3 kilometers per second

- The targets to be hit during further tests of Russia's newest missile systems will be determined based on the threats to the country

- Russia considers itself entitled to use weapons against military facilities of countries that allow their weapons to be used against it

- Russia will offer in advance to civilians in Ukraine and citizens of other countries to leave areas of possible destruction in the event of the use of systems such as "Oreshnik"; there are currently no means of counteracting such weapons

- In Dnepropetrovsk, Russia struck a complex that produces, among other things, missile technology
