Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he discussed the “demonization of Russia” with him after his interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson. This was reported by RIA News.
According to Putin, after the television cameras were turned off, he discussed with Carlson the issue of Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire. The President noted that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, whose great-grandfather fled Russia to escape pogroms, had previously spoken on this issue several times.
Putin emphasized that this issue is constantly on the agenda in different countries of the world, both in Europe and the USA. The head of state expressed confidence that the issue of Jewish pogroms was deliberately exaggerated in order to demonize Russia.
Previously Russian President Vladimir Putin named US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is “our man” but has expressed concern about possible errors in his statements on alleged Jewish pogroms.
Formerly US Secretary of State statedThat Russia and China currently pose “the most serious threat to world order” on the planet.
