Putin: If Trump is elected, US could put focus on it’s own interest

Russian Pres. Putin is hoping for a Trump win.

ON the wires:

• There could be changes in US policy over Ukraine and Russia if US starts to focus on its own interests.

He does say that it’s “hard to tell” if there will be changes should Trump gets elected, but you get the feeling he is hoping his old buddy wins.

Putin adds:

• We are not threatening anybody
• No one in the West wants to recall that war in Ukraine started from state coup in Ukraine
• United States provoked the coup in Ukraine, and after that Crimean people chose to leave Ukraine
• Russia tried to solve the crisis by peaceful means after the coup.
• Ukraine used weapons against peaceful citizens in eastern Ukraine.
• West lied to Russia over Minsk Accord
