https://www.foxnews.com/world/putin-says-trusting-the-west-was-biggest-mistake-report-saysRussian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday reportedly said that the worst mistake he’s made in the last 15 years was in trusting the West.
Putin spoke with a Germany-based academic during a televised discussion in southern Russia. The academic asked about what mistakes Moscow may have made when dealing with the West, and Putin responded, “We trusted you too much. You interpreted our trust as weakness and you exploited that.”
I think he actually said that it is the biggest mistake he has made as leader of Russia.
