Ifeng: Putin gave a witty response to a provocation from a US journalist
An American journalist asked a provocative question to Russian President Vladimir Putin and received a witty answer. This is reported by the Ifeng publication.
An NBC correspondent wondered why Moscow does not reproach Beijing for militarization in the East.
A journalist from the United States drew attention to the appearance of a fourth aircraft carrier in the PRC army, the article says. To this, the head of the Russian state responded that China is a strategic partner of the Russian Federation, and the neighboring countries are separated by a long land border.
Putin also asked a counter question to the correspondent, after which applause was heard in the hall.
«Do you think that they will send their aircraft carriers through our territory, or what?» Putin asked.
