Russian President Vladimir Putin is intending to press U.S. President Joe Biden on human rights violations that are being perpetrated against Trump supporters who attended the mostly-peaceful protest at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has pointed out in recent weeks how U.S. authorities are violating human rights of their dissidents, which is a criticism frequently leveled against the Kremlin by Washington D.C. elites.
“We are ready to talk, we have no taboo topics. We will discuss whatever we think is necessary. We will be ready to answer the questions that the American side will raise. This also applies to human rights,” Lavrov said during a press conference that took place on Monday in Moscow.
“For example, we are following with interest the persecution of those persons who are accused of the riots on January 6 this year,” Lavrov continued, adding that “a lot of really interesting things are happening from the point of view of the rights of the opposition and protecting those rights” in the U.S.

This is going to be hilarious.
Wow! putin cares more about Trump voters then the gopE, or Trump. I wondered when someone with a voice would step up in their defense.
I'm breaking out the popcorn!
Pretty bad when the Russian president calls you out on taking people’s rights away.
Pretty bad when we have more respect for Putin than our own president.
Well darn....
Trolling a moron seems unfair
Time to insist that Joe fire those corrupt bastards he has investigating Donald Trump.
The irony is so rich Putin and Xi are at their leisure to bathe in it.
>>Pretty bad when the Russian president calls you out on taking people’s rights away.
Iran and China were doing it last year when George Floyd died.
I’ve never disliked Vladimir. His move into Ukraine was pre-emptive strike to ensure their military base in Sevastopal never came under control of NATO. Simple Russian Patriotic move that is hard to argue...unless you listen to mainstream propaganda.
I don’t understand why Russia and US couldn’t be strategic allies at least. I know about Bay of Pigs and Cold War. But it seems there have been major shifts in geopolitics since that time.
Brilliant move by Pooty.
Press will use this to support its false claim that Trump and Russia are BFF.
Well, Vlad isn’t a TOTAL asshole.
One would think...
What the WHAT?
I’m walking through a Mirror Maze.
This should be big fun. I wonder if Putin will say her name.
