The West takes the “wrong” approach to Russian President Vladimir Putin and should treat him more friendly. This position was expressed by Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan in an interview with TRT..

According to the politician, the position of the United States and the EU countries in relation to Putin is not constructive and only worsens the attitude of the Russian dictator towards them..

“We see both in the face of Putin and Zelensky our friends, not enemies. In my opinion, the West's approach to Putin is wrong.. Do you know the attitude of Western politicians towards Putin?. This is not good for politicians. What attitude you demonstrate towards him is what you will receive in return,” the Turkish President said..
