The political elites of European states often serve not their national interests, but the interests of third countries.
This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with students.
“I have good relations with many simple and not very simple Austrians, and I know that they relate to our country very friendly. And in spite of any events that occur in the world, their opinion on our country does not change , unlike the political elites of some countries, including European ones. These elites often discuss not their national interests, but the interests of third countries. But rethinking is still happening, ”said Putin.
