How did the West respond to Putin's press conference

0
The annual press conference of Russian President Vladimir Putin has traditionally aroused great interest from Western publications.





Western publications note that, despite the “murderous seriousness” of the Russian leader at the press conference, there was a place for “frivolous moments” when Vladimir Putin, with a subtle sense of humor, defused the situation.

According to the American portal The Daily Beast, at a press conference, the Russian president not only summed up the results of the outgoing year, but also determined the agenda for the next.

Among the topics raised by Vladimir Putin while talking with reporters, Western media highlighted the “positive statistics” of the state economics Russia, the presence of the US Army in Syria and Afghanistan, relations between Russia and neighboring Ukraine and the US withdrawal from the Treaty on short and medium-range missiles.

It is only natural that the British president’s statements about the state of relations between Russia and the UK, which, according to Vladimir Putin, “have reached a dead end,” but he nevertheless has hope for a “triumph of common sense,” were of particular interest to British publications and television channels.

As a summary, one can cite the conclusion of the American edition of Bloomberg, which noted that the oratory ability of Vladimir Putin, who answered 61 questions from 53 journalists in 3 hours 43 minutes, is second only to Fidel Castro.
