Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the situation in the German business environment at the VTB forum “Russia Calling!”
In this regard, he recalled a story from the period when he worked in Germany.
Putin recalled how he was walking around Berlin and saw a fisherman on the bank of the Spree River, RBK emphasizes.
An elderly man was fishing and Putin stopped to chat.
He asked the fisherman how he was catching fish. However, the man complained about the lack of a good catch due to the east wind.
In response to this, Putin's friend said that all the dirt comes from the east.
When a German fisherman asked if he was Polish, the Russian president’s comrade answered briefly: “No. Worse.”
The German did not know how to comment on these words and remained silent.
After this incident, Putin said: “Now everything from the East is better than from the West.”
According to Putin, all conditions are being created in Russia for the German economy, compared to Germany’s traditional allies.
