MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday characterized the January insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump as a “stroll.”
Putin made the comment in a meeting on increasing investment activity, during which he said Russia is interested in stability in the United States.
“Some of the people who took a stroll to the U.S. Congress — 150 people were arrested, they face imprisonment from 15 to 25 years. Will all these internal controversies end there or not? We do not know, but we want it to end, because we are interested in stable relations with all our main partners,” Putin said.
More than 300 Trump supporters have been charged with a range of crimes stemming from the siege, which resulted in the deaths of five people, including a police officer.

Pretty sad when the leader of Russia cares more about the future of the United States than our own government.
It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled
It’s been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
More than 300 Trump supporters have been charged with a range of crimes stemming from the siege, which resulted in the deaths of five people, including a police officer.
They keep repeating the lie. The only person who died was Ashlii Babbitt because of a LEO in the Capitol. The rest were un-related.
Stop repeating the f-ing lie, AP. Associated Pravda.
Putin trollin’ with strollin’.
Why did you stick this in my head???
Russia and the Chinese just need to wait out the US deep state and democrats as they tear apart the USA with debt, race, and Neo-marxist policies.
Vladimir Putin needs to come over and show Nancy Pelosi how its really done.
Exactly. It wasn’t exactly the Bolsheviks raiding The Winter Palace, was it?
Sorry Vladimir, there is no one "stable" in the WH right now
Nancy would have been hung from the top of the Washington Monument along with Chuck the Schmuck.
Sounds like an accurate quote.
Unfortunately, no Western Media nor most other media (including Russian) can be trusted to accurately report on Putin or Russians in general. hey will just make up whatever they want him to say, ... or do.
Putin is right. 1/6 was a wake up call for freedom. Most of those arrested are political prisoners, just like in the old Soviet Union.
As far as earworms go, you can do far worse than Zep.
I expect they have figured that out.
The Russian ride has been a roller coaster, and they are still on it, how it ends only God knows.
Unauthorized tourism, Putin calls it like he sees it.
When was the last time an actual riot stayed between the velvet ropes?
Is it called AP because APes run the place?
