Putin said that in the context of the epidemic, there are political forces trying to use the situation to promote the conspiracy theory of the origin of the epidemic, and this needs to be opposed. Of course, it is important for professionals to analyze and study, for us to recognize the essence of the matter and establish a protection system. But where the virus came from is another question. If someone has intentionally "threw out" the new coronavirus, and someone has done something deliberately, there is no reason for this. If someone supports this view, they will not benefit from it.
Putin said that in order to successfully fight the coronavirus, the international community must work together, rather than blame each other. I firmly believe that we should do something to get rid of threats, success on this path is waiting for us, otherwise what will be waiting for us will be confrontation.
Putin said that he has heard many times that because of the existence of the new coronavirus, everything will change dramatically. I do not agree with this, and it is not the case. The virus did not actually change anything. Viruses only promote the progress of certain things.
Putin said that it must be understood that it is extremely important to unite in the fight against common threats. It is superficial and self-serving to ensure its dominant position at all costs. It will lead to a dead end in international relations The international community plays an effective role. During the epidemic, Russia provided assistance to some European countries. This was not due to any political motivation, but because they were very difficult at the time. The Russian side did not propose any political conditions.
Putin also expressed satisfaction with the performance of members of the Russian government during the epidemic. He emphasized that during the epidemic, the Russian medical system proved to be flexible and mobilizable quickly, and Russian medical experts were also well-trained. Russia can respond to world-class challenges. (Finish)
