The head of state said this in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin.

“There is quite a complex internal political struggle going on there. “Who is trying to bet on what, in order for someone to stay in power, for someone to come to it,” the Russian leader noted.

According to Putin, the current situation in Germany is causing serious damage to the future of the German economy.

Bloomberg previously noted that Germany's weakening economy signals that the country faces even more problems ahead.

During a conversation with journalist Tucker Carlson, Vladimir Putin expressed bewilderment why Germany remains silent, knowing full well that the explosion at Nord Stream was carried out by their NATO partners and that this dealt a blow to the German economy. As Putin stated, today's German authorities are not guided by national interests.
