Putin calls European leaders ‘little pigs’ – POLITICO

Russian President Vladimir Putin called European leaders “little pigs” who wanted to profit from the collapse of Russia.

In the comments, made on the eve of a critical meeting of EU leaders to hash out a deal to secure funding for Ukraine, the Russian leader said Europe wanted to get back “something they’ve lost in previous historic periods and to take revenge” on Russia.

Speaking at an annual Russian defense ministry meeting, Putin blamed former U.S. President Joe Biden for “consciously” unleashing the war in Ukraine and said that the “European little pigs” immediately backed the Americans.
