Putin says events in Europe, like AfD's win in Germany, caused by Western globalists

Putin said Western elites and NATO expansion caused Europe’s turmoil and the Ukraine conflict, as the AfD won first place in Saxony-Anhalt.

  • On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin attributed political and economic instability across Europe to "system errors" committed by Western globalist elites during remarks made while visiting India.
  • The AfD secured a top result in the September 6 Saxony-Anhalt state election, which Putin linked to voters reacting against broader Western policy failures affecting the continent.
  • Regarding Ukraine, the Russian leader blamed the West for disregarding Russia's opposition to NATO's eastward expansion, claiming the West "immediately set the goal of dragging Ukraine into NATO."
  • Putin told reporters Western countries are "scaring their people with a fake threat from Russia," asserting no such threat has existed since the Soviet Union era.
  • Starting Saturday, the Russian leader will attend a BRICS summit in India alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran for multilateral discussions.
