In many European countries, there are supporters of Vladimir Putin and the Russian authorities who temporarily hide their sympathy for Moscow.
“The Russian autocrat is not alone in his reactionary desire to split the world and turn back the clock. He has many allies in Europe who now hide their sympathy for Putin, but just a year ago they came to him and praised his methods,” Sanchez said at the World Economic forum in Davos.
It is worth noting that after the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was accused of having links with Putin. Also, the head of the German cybersecurity agency, Arne Schönbom, was accused of close relations with the Russian “top”.
