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

Putin said Western elites and NATO pressure drove Europe’s turmoil and the AfD’s first-place finish 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.
