Putin: Protests in Europe are due to governments' own mistakes

Pointing out that immigrants and children who came to Europe in the past years could not adapt to society, Putin said, "The number of immigrants from these countries has reached such a level that they cannot adapt to society anymore. States are not in a position to ensure their adaptation. Resources are insufficient. It is necessary to take care of their education and make them adopt local traditions and customs." he said.

Putin also criticized Europe's immigration policies and stated that some immigrants cannot speak the language of the countries they have lived in for many years, and that the policies of European countries towards the Middle East also affect the reactions of immigrants coming from the region.

Putin pointed out that Russia is also a multinational country and emphasized that the problems in Europe should not be mocked and that his country will give more importance to its policies on relations between national communities.

Evaluating the energy policies of European countries towards Russia, Putin said that his country has never refused to supply energy resources to Europe.

Reminding that the decision not to purchase Russian energy resources such as oil, natural gas, coal and uranium was taken by European countries, Putin said, "We have not refused to supply anyone. They have given up and are still planning to give up the products they continue to purchase from Russia." he said.

Pointing out that the supply continues despite Europe's restrictions on Russian energy resources, Putin said, "Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) constitutes 20 percent of the European market. This is an important part of the market." he said.

Putin criticized the policy of European countries to ban everything from Russia, saying, "Life has shown that it does not work. The policy of banning everything from Russia is stupid, completely stupid." made his assessment.

President Putin added that some foreign companies had to leave the Russian market due to pressure from European governments.
