Putin calls Trump prosecution politically motivated and praises Elon Musk

Britain is trying to provoke Russia into launching an attack on a Ukrainian nuclear power station, Vladimir Putin has claimed.

The Russian president claimed the UK was behind an alleged plot to train Ukrainian “saboteurs” to strike a nuclear power plant in Russia.

The so-called saboteurs were arrested by the state security service before they could hit their target, and later admitted under interrogation they had been trained by British instructors, he said.

The difference between Putin political persecution vs Trump political persecution is that Putin doesn't lecture other people about being a "democracy".

It's rich that Putler is the one who speaks up on anything "politically motivated" when he is the one who throws all his opponents into a Siberian labour camp and/or exiles them from the country, strips their citizenships etc.

As an American I’ve always honestly liked and respected Putin.
