Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has been accused and globally condemned for alleged politically motivated poisonings, claimed the U.S. has a “certain responsibility” regarding the disappearance of Saudi dissident writer Jamal Khashoggi because he was living in the U.S.
“As far as I know the journalist who went missing used to live in the USA. He did not live in Russia. In this regard the U.S. has a certain responsibility,” he said, according to the Financial Times. “If someone knows what happens and there was a murder, I hope some evidence is provided. And dependent on that, we will make some decisions.”
“From time to time, there are certain steps taken, even sanctions, for imaginary reasons without any proof regarding our alleged use of chemical weapons,” he added. “They are saying a murder took place in Istanbul but no such steps have been taken…. We have to set some certain procedures, equal approaches to those kind of events.”
Thanks for the help Vladi Daddi!
Ace advice … amounting to nothing.
The real question: how is Russia going to use this event to further undermine the US? I’m sure we’ll all find out shortly.
We can only hope Russia finally incinerates the USA and Putin becomes president, Lavrov VP.
Says the guy who’s murdered 58 journalists.
And would anyone around Trump dare to point this out to him? … Nah.
U do realise that Mike Pence is a Russia Hawk, right?
