Putin: There is a rather complex internal political struggle going on in Germany. According to Putin, the current situation in Germany is causing serious damage to the future of the German economy.

Putin expressed bewilderment why Germany remains silent, knowing full well that the explosion at Nord Stream was carried out by their NATO partners. As Putin stated, today's German authorities are not guided by national interests.. Bloomberg previously noted that Germany's weakening economy signals that the country faces even more problems ahead. The Russian leader said this in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin.
