Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that foreign service providers, such as Microsoft and Zoom, who according to the head of state, act against Russian interests, should be restricted.
Putin said it was important for Russia to develop national software solutions.
“We do not expel anyone, we do not bother anyone. We offer the most favorable conditions to work in our market. And they are trying to restrict ourselves, as our colleague has just said. Therefore, we must return, imitate their actions,” he said.
Trump says Putin went crazy
United States President Donald Trump and stressed that “he is not happy with what Putin is doing,” after Moscow launched the largest air strike in three years of war against Ukraine.
“I’ve always had a great relationship with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, but something happened to him. He’s been completely crazy! He’s killing a lot of people unnecessarily, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being fired at cities in Ukraine for no reason,” Trump said in the Social Truth.
Russia says Trump’s comment was “emotional overload”
On Monday (26), the Russian government said that Donald Trump’s statement may be due to an emotional overload, but thanked the US leader for helping peace negotiations.
“We are really grateful to Americans and President Trump personally for their help in the organization and launch of this negotiation process,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
“Of course, at the same time, this is a crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with everyone’s emotional overload and emotional reactions,” he continued.
