A journalist from Austria asked Vladimir Putin about the conditions for “returning Crimea to Ukraine”

Today, the Russian president is on a working visit to Austria. Before the start of his visit, Vladimir Putin gave an interview to local media that were interested in the widest range of geopolitical (and not only) agenda. It is noteworthy that this trip will be the first for Putin after his re-election as president.

In particular, the journalist of the Austrian TK ORF Armin Wolf asked the Russian leader about the conditions under which Russia could “return the Crimea to Ukraine.”

The answer of the President of Russia was extremely laconic:
No such conditions.

Also, Putin’s Austrian journalist was arrogantly interested in whether the Russian president was familiar with the Kremlin’s chef Prigogine, and “why does he finance the troll factory in Russia”.

Vladimir Putin said that it was ridiculous to believe that a person engaged in the restaurant business could influence the US elections. The Russian president added that it is necessary to separate individuals and the Russian state. According to the president, in the USA there is George Soros, who through his means intervened in the internal political life of dozens of countries around the world.

Putin:

Mr. Soros wants to shake the euro (...) This is already being discussed in expert circles. Ask the State Department: why is he doing this? The State Department will tell you that it has nothing to do with this, this is a personal affair of Soros. And we have this personal file of Mr. Prigogine. Here you are the answer to you.

In an interview with an Austrian journalist with Russian President Putin, the conversation was about the tragedy with the Malaysian Boeing. Vladimir Putin recalled that at the beginning of 2000-s Ukraine also denied the fact of striking a passenger plane, but later it was necessary to admit an obvious fact.

Vladimir Putin also answered the question of whether he considers a nuclear war between the USA and the DPRK possible. The Russian president said that he didn’t want to even think about this topic, since the very suggestion looks scary. According to the President of the Russian Federation, if someone in such a conflict might be interested, then definitely not Russia.

I watched this interview. At many points, Putin was not convincing, took the conversation aside.
And the Austrian asked interesting questions to the western public. (again to the question of the different mentalities of Russia and the West)

[rocket757]

"Poisonous" questions that do not imply neutral answers!
Nothing new, she is such journalism ...
Any top, public person can be promoted to lousy answers.
Kosyakov is now behind all politicians a wagon and a small cart.
It is unlikely that GDP is in the forefront, just a very significant person, at all levels, that’s a scandal.

[bulvas]

Quote: rocket757

"Poisonous" questions that do not imply neutral answers!

The policy of forming questions is to make high-profile headlines from the answers, such as,

"Putin said that ... .. !!!"


and at the same time, so that later this is not declared an insinuation and does not block access to subsequent interviews

[rocket757]

Precisely, often in the article there is nothing but the headache!
Again, it’s cool when the article completely eliminates the tone set by the heading!

[NKT]

Yes, he had some "fatigue" from the same questions. Probably tired of talking “against the wall” and trying to explain something.

[Chertt]

Quote: NKT

Probably tired of talking "with the wall"

[taiga2018]

Quote: Chertt

And the Austrian asked interesting questions to the western public.

You think that the majority of Austrians (simple hard workers, and not a few percent of the "elite") are interested in the answers to these questions, I am sure that if a list of questions was drawn up precisely on the basis of the interests of the majority, then they would definitely be different ...

[Chertt]

Quote: taiga2018

you think that most of the Austrians (simple hard workers, not a few percent of the "elite") are interested in the answers to these questions

This is a question for which there is no answer. (We are not only talking about the Austrians this time). What is really necessary and interesting to the people. There is an opinion of the Liberals that the people = (vote in the refrigerator. First you need to subordinate the roads, and then climb into Syria. Etc.). But life shows that simple workaholic, often more important are questions that do not directly concern him, but are “universal”

[serg.shishkov2015]

Right to the point! own belly is certainly important, but Russia is one, and it’s better to wet all kinds of non-humans in Syria!

[Leshy1975]

It’s straight twice to the point (I’m thinking, first they put things in order in their house, then they take the equipment to the “neighbor”, if they’ve called). Of course, it’s better to wet in Syria, and now it’s even better in Africa (yes, we also send military advisers there), I wonder where else we’ll climb. But if "in the kitchen" broke a pipe "and floods your own house and it may not be suitable for life (only in the Donbas, it also doesn’t pour water and how much more should be spilled?), And you boast that at that time it helped there, and there. Well, what can I say? Or Donbas (and for me it is the whole of Ukraine, I still remember that we are relatives) do not fall under "universal values"?
And what does the "simple hard worker" think about this:
"Alexander Zhuchkovsky
Jun 1 at 16:36

Lev Pirogov wrote a good article "Stop faking before the traitors!"
“Mourning the untimely death of Arkady Babchenko, the famous Russian lady politician promised to help his family. But I didn’t find a single mention of her helping or promising to help the family of Arsen Pavlov, for example.”
Pirogov means Valentina Matvienko, who expressed condolences on the alleged death of Babchenko and said that "Russia is ready to provide assistance and support to his family."
Helping the family is good, after all, the family is not responsible for Babchenko’s art.
But what a selectivity! In fact, something no one heard from Matvienko calls to support the family of the same Motorola and other heroes of the Donbass war.
And all because they "do not understand." It’s not shook hands, you know, to fit for the grimy marginal little girls. No one will appreciate it.
The Russians have always fawned on foreigners, and Ukrainians now follow the category of foreigners, so now they creep in front of Ukrainians.
They ask me why I write so contemptuously - “Russians”, and how they differ from Russians.
This is what they differ in. "

After all, it is precisely such “great statesmen”, yes, and the president in the same row, he is the flesh of his team’s flesh, in fact, they make real decisions about what and where are “universal values” and intervene, and where are the “partners” "and no matter how. “But life shows” that the power that makes real decisions to sneeze on such values ​​and there is no reason “to toss up bonnets,” and even more so the opinion of the president that quote Chertt (Alexey): “He has such a job” to defend his homeland "wink". One would like to ask whose Homeland, what is the Homeland for him, or who is even better (everyone can easily remember the list of really protected and forgotten). So these are still normal, completely combed questions, indeed, which were interesting in the West. Here you can ask so many really “sharp questions” to GDP, but he will never give intelligible answers to such questions. And discuss the Austrian journalist. I don’t want to offend anyone, but the past years on the military review were really more “sharp” and interesting comments and discussions. I especially liked to read the controversy with the Israeli comrades, well, or whatever they themselves would prefer, what would they be called. There was something to ponder. And now, “like in a smoking room”, well, let's still comment on what color the journalist has, and what about the GDP, tie or socks and whether they are combed in fashion. But through the commentary, how are we, their how are we theirs, well, and "bonnets in the air."

[siberalt]

The Austrian journalist either decided to show off erudition, or joked.

It's right. 7 Jun also, without pocket, all questioners, will get an answer to any question. Everything and nothing.

Everything will be, as before: someone will receive, someone will rake, someone will warm his ears and take advantage of freedom of speech, incl. on in order to reproach GDP and power ... And how do you imagine this? That the president of such a huge state will rush to satisfy the needs of every citizen or an active and boisterous minority called the non-systemic opposition? Putin is too philanthropic and mild in choosing measures. Sometimes it seems that some Stalinist methods are not enough, that would give a concrete answer to all questions at once "without a pocket."

[AlexVas44]

Quote: Alex-a832

[dauria]

I want to drive. There are resources, there is popular support, what else is needed?

What does Putin need? Maybe power? Indeed, in reality, we don’t know the “kitchen”, and Putin and his entourage are a picture created by our media for us. To look at other people's media - there will be another picture and another Putin. Something I can’t believe anymore, that both here and in the USA and anywhere alone, someone rules, not even looking at Ohm’s law. As an extreme case, the manager of the restaurant, completely dependent on the owners.

[BecmepH]

Quote: dauria

It goes without saying.

Indeed, in fact, the "kitchen" we do not know

This is true. BUT! Do we see things? We do not even see, but feel the results of the reign of the GDP on ourselves. It gets better? According to my feelings, no!
People are being squeezed, due to which the "family" is flourishing.
Something like a monarchy is becoming.
The estates appeared ...

It is possible that I did not understand the tone of your comment. This whole performance is necessary to increase the level of trust, if not the executive branch as a whole, then the president, although it is clear that this is a performance to a greater extent, but improvisations also take place.

[AUL]

Nobody has been taking part in performances for a long time - the people are painfully dodgy, literate. Confidence is raised not by performances and shows, but by the results of the work of the authorities. And everyone feels these results at his withers.

[rotmistr60]

journalist of the Austrian shopping mall ORF Armin Wolf

I watched the highlights of this interview. It seems that every foreign journalist in an interview with GDP is trying to strengthen his name in the journalistic community and move up the career ladder. The questions are mostly provocative and nagging, but how boldly I (the journalist) ask them to Putin himself. The behavior of these "journalists" is not surprising, but only strengthens the idea that the West is afraid of Russia and that it comes from feces.

[Strips]

Quote: rotmistr60

The questions are mostly provocative and sore.

Because this is not a straight line with the president, when all the questions are known in advance and the microphone in the ear.

Again, this is one of many questions.

[fortnight]

What’s what, he understood what he said?

[NKT]

He wanted to say that before meeting with the president, a list with questions that the journalist intends to ask is always presented. Common international practice.

The journalist simply voiced all the questions in the form that they are understood in the West. On questions, one can judge what the "West" cares about, in what way the perception of Russia is there. Propaganda works there and brainwashing is ongoing, just like in Russia.

Prohibit in your media call them "democracies" and call ... "plutocracies", and at all levels, including the official ... It will be interesting to look at the result.

Maybe because he is one of the rulers of this state? Well, I took it from the cash desk of my own restaurant, what is it?

[samarin1969]

Since April 2014, I have not noticed such a meaningful interview with Putin. What is it for?

[Cat Marquis]

And why is it "meaningful"?

[onix757]

Well, it’s not for nothing that it finances. Judging by the comments, the "forever on duty" work out the bread.

[Polkovnik parker]

Vladimir Putin recalled that in the early 2000s, Ukraine also denied the attack on a passenger plane, but subsequently an obvious fact had to be recognized.

This was another provocation pind0s0v, executed by the hands of Ukrainians. Similar to those that were with Korean aircraft over the Kola Peninsula in April 1978 and Sakhalin in September 1983. There will be no publication of images of American satellites. They will expose not only Ukrainians, but also pind0s0v themselves.

[ramzes1776]

Putin was asked a question about green men in Crimea, and he was about a TU shot down by Ukrainians. Normally, he answered, by type I am also in sneakers)

Probably infected

[Leshy1975]

Cannons and? Or pulls in rhymes? Yes, I admit, I made a mistake with the surname, Peskov will be right. (I don’t understand why it happened, they are "equally dear to me" that Peskov, that Surkov, probably thought)

“We have two thousand employees of the administration, do you really think that I control everyone? Vaughn (presidential spokesman. - Ed.) Peskov sits opposite, my spokesperson, he sometimes carries such a" blizzard ", I look at "And I’m thinking to the TV: what is he saying there? Who charged him with this?" He said in an interview with NBC. The interview was recorded on March 1 in the Kremlin and on March 2 in Kaliningrad.

Yes, I mean, in fact, before teaching the President what and to whom he should answer (and there is every word with a double, or even a triple "bottom"), it would be nice to learn not to twist facts.
And only

[Leshy1975]

I cited the fact of such a statement, so I do not misinterpret the facts. And what the name is confused, so yes, if once is not enough, once again I admit. But you, after me, also wrote the wrong name (Pushkova dragged), and nothing, you yourself do not misinterpret? Although, if you take your method into service: “a word with a double, or even a triple“ bottom ”, you’ll get to the bottom of the truth. The main thing is that you shouldn’t knock from the bottom when you reach the bottom.

[onix757]

Well, in general, harmless questions compared to an extreme interview (similar to interrogation) by the American media.

[Strashila]

"Vladimir Putin said that it’s ridiculous to think that a person involved in restaurant business could influence the elections in the USA." ... it’s not possible to deliver so many pancakes, ravioli, black caviar and vodka to the United States ... they don’t understand anything ... their tastes are different, but both ulcers and teetotalers drink for free.

[Langf]

Editorial policy is based on the foundations of education. Here you have the Bologna system of world perception, but simpler the exam. In the order of things, the scarcity of interests, blindness in international relations, infantilism towards the future, kitchen and shop priorities in information sources. It seems like adults, original publishers, and each time, to the dismay, they are monotonous and always with primitive concern within the sandbox or playpen. But nothing, the world is not without good soros: we will soon be equalized, we will kill and finally begin to understand each other.

[Yves762]

No such conditions.

And if the referendum (will) local will decide.?.
Anyway, a broader issue should be considered: what will it be if the regions decide which thread of the Russian Federation ... um ... to secede (worse, change citizenship) ???
Heel in the chest ... ... to the opponent with a cry, shaw there never will be, for there will never be - empty. Union misfortune also did not think that it would fall apart ...

[Nasty]

This is not an interview at all. Austriak judge- GDP defendant. But they didn’t attack that.

[Topotun]

Hmm, after watching this interview - the impression of the asked questions was left, like from a fly smashing into glass. She is thrown back, and she is stubbornly stomping again ... And not at all trying to comprehend anything. So it is here. It seems that the journalist was focused on "pissing off" GDP ...

[PValery53]

"on the terms of the" return of Crimea to Ukraine ""
- Crimea was transferred to Ukraine in an unconstitutional way, and in 2014 returned to Russia through the constitutional way. What kind of "returns" can still be discussed ?! - so stupid Austrian-provocateur and had to answer!

[ZaMir]

Quote: Cat Marquis

Well, you call them "despotism" or something else, not "democracies", someone is interfering ... And then everywhere in Russia you can only hear: "in the countries of Western democracy"

Perhaps this is done so that in Russia the word "democracy" and everything connected with it are perceived from a negative point of view. As someone sings about democratic values, so everyone starts looking at him as an enemy.

[sleeve]

After watching the interview, I have only one question. Are these shafts confusing themselves with someone? What rudeness? Do they have a goal in life to fight against Putin? To interrupt, to drive frank heresy, to evade explanations. What the ... (you can’t swear, damn it).?

[Imobile]

It’s even better that the GDP is propaganda, Ukraine remembered about the downed plane.
But,

return Crimea to Ukraine

To return Crimea to Ukraine, it is necessary that it once belonged to Ukraine, but this has never happened. I do not understand why at every convenient and inconvenient case it is not mentioned that there was no Crimea, but there was the Autonomous Republic of Crimea Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

[Dead hand]

The mouse decided to get the GDP ...

[ARES623]

Quote: Angry Guerrilla

I had a better opinion of Austrian journalists ...

But somehow, I’m not. The image of barbarian bears on Russia is created precisely by the media. With what joy would the media send Russophile to Putin? He is no better than Kelly, although there was a noticeable effort to outstrip her. Besides boor, 11 times interrupted the President. Obviously, he will no longer ask questions to Putin. These must be eliminated, it’s painfully stupid and annoying. Media in Europe is run not from the presidential circles of national governments, but from Brussels and London. Why would you have a “better” opinion about these media?

[Fedorovich]

And tell me how to get into a troll factory?
