Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that events in Europe, including the far-right victory in a German state election, were the result of "system errors" committed by globalists in the West.
Putin, speaking to reporters in a pool report on the first day of a visit to India, also said the conflict in Ukraine was the fault of the West for constantly putting pressure on Moscow and seeking to "drag" Ukraine into the NATO alliance.
The Russian president said he would offer no comment on Sunday's top result for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, but then added that Western elites were to blame for events on the continent, including the election.
"I think that everything happening in Europe right now is basically the result of system errors by the so-called West ... the Western globalists in politics, security, and economics," Putin said.
Western countries, he said, had also disregarded Russia's opposition to NATO's eastward expansion.
After a Russia-friendly president was forced to flee Ukraine in 2014, he said the West "immediately set the goal of dragging Ukraine into NATO. And this ultimately turned out to be the main reason for today's tragic events in Ukraine."
"It is the Western globalist elites that are to blame for this, though they keep shifting the blame onto us all the time."

He’s not wrong about that.
“He’s not wrong about that.”
Putin’s a DICTATOR responsible for every evil in the West. PUTIN created the Right-Wing Parties in Europe, along with Trump, to cause UNREST, so he can INVADE us and CONQUER THE WORLD!!!!
(sound about right, Neocon Groupies?)
Stop the killing and debate it. Things do not have to be this bellicose.
It’s more complicated than that I see Russia and Israel fighting the Euros who just sanctioned Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria (West Bank).
Maybe that’s why the POTUS makes nice with Putin and Russia.
The other week Pedro Sanchez the Leftist Spanish PM said disinformation promotion of far-right nationalism online originates in both Russia and Israel.
