Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is to meet President Joe Biden at a summit Wednesday, has suggested that the hundreds of people arrested for rioting at the U.S. Capitol are being subjected to “persecution for political opinions.”
Putin is likely to come under strong criticism from Biden at their meeting in Geneva for moves against his political opponents in Russia, particularly the imprisonment of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the detention of thousands of demonstrators protesting his arrest, and the outlawing of Navalny’s organizations as extremist.
“You are presenting it as dissent and intolerance toward dissent in Russia. We view it completely differently,” he said in an interview with NBC News broadcast Monday. He then pointed to the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington when protesters barged into the Capitol to try to halt the count of electoral votes to certify Biden’s election victory over Donald Trump.
“Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering the Congress? ... They came there with political demands,” he said.
Although the protests that erupted across Russia after Navalny’s arrest in January were unsanctioned, demonstrators were largely peaceful and did not enter government buildings or cause significant property damage, unlike the Capitol riot.
Putin also reiterated denials that the Kremlin was behind last year’s poisoning of Navalny with a nerve agent that nearly killed him.
“We don’t have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody,” Putin said.
“Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin said, referring to Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as she tried to climb through a window that led to the House floor.
At a news conference after a NATO summit Monday in Brussels, Biden declined to assess how he’ll measure the success of his meeting with Putin because “the last thing anyone would do is negotiate in front of the world press.”
Biden described Putin as “bright,” “tough” and a “worthy adversary.” But he indicated he would remain wary of any commitments coming out of their meeting, saying he would “verify first and then trust” the Russian leader.
He also suggested he’d be looking for areas of agreement with the Russian president, while also warning him against continued aggression towards the U.S.
“I’m gonna make clear to President Putin that there are areas where we can cooperate, if he chooses, and if he chooses not to cooperate and acts in a way that he has in the past relative to cybersecurity and other activities, then we will respond, we will respond in kind,” he said.
In his NBC interview, Putin sharply dismissed the cyberattack allegations against the U.S. as baseless.
“Where is the evidence? Where is proof? It’s becoming farcical,” Putin said. “We have been accused of all kinds of things — election interference, cyberattacks and so on and so forth — and not once, not once, not one time, did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof, just unfounded accusations.”
In April, the United States announced the expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats and new sanctions connected to the so-called SolarWinds cyberattack in which several U.S. government branches experienced data breaches. U.S. officials blamed the Russian foreign intelligence service.
In May, Microsoft officials said the foreign intelligence service appeared to be linked to an attack on a company providing services to the U.S. Agency for International Development.
At the summit, Biden also is expected to raise the case of two Americans imprisoned in Russia: Paul Whelan, who was convicted of espionage, and Trevor Reed, convicted of assaulting police while drunk. U.S. officials say both were convicted in biased trials on flimsy evidence.
Putin said of Reed, a 29-year-old former Marine: “He’s just a drunk and a troublemaker.”
Putin brushed off one possible source of tension in the upcoming summit: Biden’s claim that he once told Putin he considered the Russian leader soulless.

Anyone who's dumb enough to crawl through a broken window and towards the barrel of a gun deserves to be "assassinated"

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say old Putin has had a person or two killed.

While I think there should at least be proportional government interest into the Babbitt shooting as there is every time some career criminal meets his maker at the hand of cops while breaking the law, it’s laughable to hear criticism in this realm from a dude well known for poisoning his political adversaries..

You honestly think it's okay for the police to just kill unarmed people for walking towards them?
For some reason I think your tune would be different if it wasn't Ashli Babbit that got smoked but your step-daddy Tyrone as he was picking you up from the car wash you work at. You aren't gonna win this argument without sounding like a complete fukin idiot like you always do, weirdo.Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new.

I dont make the rules *******.
The dumbass chick had her hands and body hidden behind a wood door, being violent and refusing orders from police to stop. Where i'm from thats called suicide by cop.
So again, walk towards police with their guns drawn after they tell you to stop and see what happens to you. If they cant see your hands, you are getting lit the **** up.MIKE TYSON: "When you see me smash somebody's skull, you'll enjoy it."

I feel the same way about this I do about many of the other police shooting BLM "scandals". Could they have been apprehended without shooting? Maybe maybe not. But jumping through a barricade towards cops holding guns on you is fuking retarded and her actions directly lead to her death
The only difference is the leftists call this a justified shoot because reasons, but a black man pointing a gun at a cop and getting blasted is systemic racism that requires burning down a target and murdering a few asians to rectify.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's actually the American alphabet agencies killing Putin's rivals just so they have a boogeyman to scare the useful idiots. It could also be other rich and powerful people with an interest in keeping Putin in power, of which I'm sure there are many. Or it could just be uncle Vlad. Watchout for your comments bro.
