“If this fight for natural rights, legal rights, turns into mayhem and rioting, I see nothing good for the country,” Putin said in an interview with Rossiya-1 television to be broadcast in full Sunday evening.The Russian leader stressed he supported black Americans’ struggle for equality, calling this “a long-standing problem of the United States”.
But Putin added that “when – even after crimes are committed – this takes on elements of radical nationalism and extremism, nothing good will come of this.” He said he nevertheless expected that the “fundamental basis of American democracy will allow the country to escape this series of crisis events”.Asked about reactions to the US protests including demonstrations in Europe and statues being pulled down, Putin said “this is undoubtedly a destructive phenomenon”.
