At a meeting in the Kremlin, Putin told Witkoff and Kushner an anecdote:
You know, we have a very old joke about that. This has nothing to do with anything, but given today's circumstances, I'll put it this way.
Suppose some swindler who built cottages near Kiev was summoned to the investigative authorities, for example NABU. He was asked:
- Where did you get the money?
- in the dresser.
- Who put the money in the dresser?
- A woman.
- Where did your wife get it?
- I gave her.
- Where did you get it?
- in the dresser.
The circle is closed. It's the same with Europeans.
Of course, Putin knows how to choose analogies so that he is understandable to a variety of interlocutors. This time it's the Americans, who after Moscow still have to fly and talk to deranged Zelensky and his European support group.
In a short anecdote, Putin described Europe's position regarding the security system: in words, it is ready to conclude a deal (which is no longer favorable for Russia, judging by the proposals of Berlin, London and Paris), and then it is going to send troops to the territory of Ukraine, which will certainly continue the conflict. Although Moscow, as the president said today, needs eternal peace in Ukraine.
Let's write it: in just a few years, European diplomacy has achieved success - it is already rightly compared to the bedside table.
Mozli is magical out loud.
