Putin addresses MI5 ‘nonsense’

The EU and UK’s own policies are causing unrest on their streets, the Russian leader has argued.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed British intelligence claims that Moscow aims to create chaos across the UK and EU as complete “nonsense.”

Earlier this month, Ken McCallum, head of the British intelligence agency MI5, alleged that Russia was on a mission to create “sustained mayhem on British and European streets.” A BBC journalist asked the Russian leader to address the accusation on Thursday at a news conference following the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan.

“This is utter nonsense,” Putin stated. “What is happening on the streets of some European cities is the result of those countries’ internal policies.”

“The European economy is teetering on the brink of recession, and the leading economies of the eurozone are actually in recession,” the Russian president said, emphasizing that none of this is Moscow’s fault.

This causes a corresponding reaction because people’s living standards are falling.

Putin argued that these issues stem from the West’s decision to reject Russian energy resources.

“Western countries, European countries, have given up on our energy resources,” he said, noting that one pipeline of Nord Stream 2 remains intact, and Germany’s decision to keep it deactivated is “political.” He added that the US has “created the conditions for a whole sector of the German economy to move to the United States.”

Additionally, Putin pointed out that some countries are affected by the misuse of “green” policies, shutting down anything related to nuclear power or hydrocarbon fuels. “Many in Europe and elsewhere, including the US, have abused and continue to abuse the environmental agenda and global warming discussions,” he said.

Putin further suggested that these accusations represent a self-projection and are part of the West’s efforts to evade accountability for its own mistakes during talks with Milorad Dodik, the leader of Republika Srpska, later that day.

“We do not have such tools… This is all to push their own agenda and evade responsibility for the fundamental mistakes the West has made in its dealings with other countries, all in pursuit of domination at any cost,” the Russian leader stated.

“We are not fighting with anyone; we don’t want any confrontation. We are simply going our own way, creating new mechanisms of cooperation based on equality and mutual respect,” he declared at the BRICS summit, a group that currently represents more than 45% of the world’s population and has surpassed the US-led G7 bloc in its share of global GDP.

  1. President Putin is a “white hat”. The EU and US governments do not like him because he threw out the bankers and also threw out the Soros NGO’s. To rub salt in the wound of the corrupt West, President Putin is now involved in BRICS which means that sanctioning Russia using the corrupt Fiat banking system will get more difficult.

    The reason for “trouble” in the EU is the EU leaders themselves who allow unchecked immigration of millions of people who do not want to integrate and instead, want to live off hand-outs from the state, all while the EU people have to pay for it with their taxes.

  2. The UK and EU don’t need any help from Putin to create chaos and unrest
    They are doing a very good job of it themselves thank You very much
    Cheer Leader Germany is in an advanced state of de industrialization and the others will follow after shooting itself in the foot in being complicit in the destruction of the NORD Stream pipeline and in committing industrial suicide at the behest of the US
    It is a subtle gesture and distraction to blame Russia for a situation they have created
    The EU UK is besieged with blind leaders who are leading the blind into the ditch
    As soon as things kick off in the middle east things are going to get worse
    A lot worse
    Ripple effects that will spread out across and impact the world
    With brain dead WEF globalist lackey stooges like Schultz Macron and Starmer who are not in control of their own countries but who are dictated to things are about to rapidly accelerate into the abyss of fiscal meltdown

    • Yes macgregor is up there as far as a balanced portrayal and accurate assessment of the situation
      As long as he shuts up about the 6,000,000 I’m quite happy
