POLITICO watched the 2-hour love-in with the Russian president so you don’t have to.
Politico omits the key points of the interview (explanation of the reasons for the Russian invasion, expansion of NATO, broken security promises, coup d'etat in Ukraine, disingenious negotiations from the West even as late as spring 2022, Putin's claim that Ukrainian and Russian people are the same etc.) Instead, it focuses - mostly - on its own political priorities. And these are not certainly points that should be key to Europeans. You certainly have to watch the interview, as Politico article tells you nothing about it.
