Elsewhere during the Q&A session, the Russian president stated that Moscow remained open to improving ties with the US, which Putin called an “important country” in the world.

However, he noted that the “imperial policies” pursued by Washington were not only hindering the normalization of relations with Moscow but also creating problems for the US.

“In the public consciousness, they must behave like an empire,” Putin explained, noting that if the US elites “agree on something or give in, this is perceived by the electorate as a failure.”

The Russian president suggested that conditions for the restoration of relations between Moscow and Washington will be met only when there are internal changes in the US and when its leaders learn to respect other countries and attempt to compromise with them rather than impose sanctions or use military force.

“For now, there are no such conditions,” Putin admitted.
