I haven’t seen the video and I don’t speak Russian. However, I suspect he was trying to butter up Xi. Putin depends on his allies as much as Ukraine depends on its allies. A large part of the Russian attackers are mercenaries from other countries.
The stupidity of Americans to continue to lap up state propaganda is breathtaking. Wave an American flag and conservatives will be first at the table gorging on the nonsense.
