Putin: "Are we behind the protests in Italy and France? This accusation demonstrates the weakness of European leaders."

The accusations leveled at Russia for the unrest in European countries demonstrate "the weakness and inability of some of their leaders to take responsibility for what is happening" .

Thus Vladimir Putin , in an interview with Russian state television cited by the Tass agency, rejects the accusations according to which Moscow is behind the riots and protests that are involving thousands of people in Europe.

In recent days, EU regulators have opened an investigation into possible "online interference" and "disinformation campaigns" from non-EU countries that may have fueled the protests in France and Italy.

After the looting in Milan, Guido Crosetto himself spoke of a "hybrid war" by foreign powers carried out on social networks through systematic disinformation campaigns.
