Russian President Vladimir Putin commented after a meeting with the President of Kazakhstan By Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the words of the word about “beauty and Ukraine”. Earlier, White House press Secretary Jen Psaki was outraged by these words, calling them “a joke about rape.”
“The words about Ukraine and the “beauty” did not have a “personal dimension,” Putin said.
The Russian leader explained that these words referred to the circumstances of Ukraine’s implementation of the Minsk agreements, which Kiev signed, and now does not want to fulfill these agreements.
Putin uttered the phrase “like, dislike, be patient, my beauty” during a joint press conference with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in Moscow.
Today, White House press Secretary Jen Psaki, commenting on these words of the Russian leader, said that “any joke about rape will surely cause outrage among absolutely everyone in the US presidential administration.”
