“Taiwan is, without any doubt, an integral part of the People's Republic of China.
We have always adhered to this position, and it does not change with us,” he said at the plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club.
Putin added that visiting Taiwan by US officials is perceived in Russia as a provocation.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said in an interview with CBS that the United States would defend Taiwan in the event of a military conflict between the island and China.
China strongly protested the US over Biden's statements on Taiwan.
Putin at a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping condemned the US provocations around Taiwan.
