“What is happening is a sign of some deep-seated internal crises,” he said in an interview with Rossiya 1, who was asked to comment on recent events in the United States.
He linked the riots to a coronavirus pandemic.
“It just came to our attention then.” The fight against the coronavirus has highlighted common problems, “he said.
So far, the Russian television channel has only released an excerpt from this interview, which called Putin’s first interview since the start of the pandemic. The full interview will air on Sunday night.
Putin also compared the situation to the coronavirus pandemic in the United States and Russia, saying that “we, God’s will, are dealing with the coronavirus situation consistently and with minimal loss, but the United States is different.”
In Russia, 8,835 new cases of coronavirus infection were confirmed Sunday, with a total of 528,964, the third highest in the world.
However, the number of confirmed cases in the United States is the highest in the world at approximately 2.07 million.
Putin said he believed the pandemic in the United States was due to a lack of strong leadership.
According to him, “the expanded Russian government, the cabinet of ministers and regional leaders, is working as a single team. I doubt that someone with us in the government or the regions says: we will not do what the government or the president say. “
Meanwhile, in the United States, according to Putin, the opposite happens: “Here the president says: we have to do it and the governors tell him where he has to go.”
“I think the problem is that the interests of the groups, the interests of the party are above the interests of the entire society, the interests of the people,” added the Russian president.
