“The whole world is laughing at what is happening.

We behave more restrained than their opponents in other countries of the world... But this is just a disaster, not democracy - that’s what it is,” said the Russian President.

Vladimir Putin had previously invited the NBC journalist to “take the puck back”, answering his question about whether elections in the Russian Federation can be considered democracy.

Thus, the head of state called what is happening in the United States on the eve of the presidential elections a shame for the whole world.

He, in particular, drew attention to the fact that now in the United States one can see the use of administrative resources to attack one of the presidential candidates.

They also resort to the courts.
