Putin said Belgium originated through Russia (video)

According to the Kremlin head, Belgium received its independence through the position of the Russian Federation. In response, Politico called Putin "the main Russian pseudoistoric. " Russian President Vladimir Putin said Belgium appeared on the world map thanks to the Russians. He said this on March 6 during a meeting with the participants of the World Youth Festival. In his opinion, the country received its independence through Russia's position. Putin did not specify how it happened.

"To a large extent, Belgium appeared on the world map due to Russia," he said. In response, Politico called the Russian leader "the main Russian pseudoistoric". Not surprisingly, as the journalists said, given the track record of Putin, however, his statements look almost the opposite. The Kremlin head, as the publication informs, made his false statement on Wednesday, answering the Belgian question at the World Youth Festival, gathering young people from Russia and all over the world near Sochi.

These comments may be no coincidence, and there are good reasons why Putin begins to be hot about Belgium. The west has a debate on the use of Russian assets. The vast majority of these assets are stored in Belgium, in the Euroclear securities depository. Journalists recalled that Putin was often accused of viewing history and using weapons to justify their imperialist ambitions. He has repeatedly argued that Ukrainian lands have historically belonged to Russia.

We will remind, on February 29, journalist Taer Carlson was indignant through Putin's words about Ukraine. According to the American journalist, he did not like all the conversation with the President of the Russian Federation, in which he tried to blamed Ukraine. The American journalist also noted that the designation of a person with a "Nazis" is an attempt to expose it with pure evil.
