“Words about Ukraine and” beauty “had no personal dimension, Putin said. The Russian leader explained that the words related to the circumstances of Ukraine's implementation of the Minsk agreements, which Kiev had signed, and now did not want to comply with those agreements. Putin said during a joint press conference with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in Moscow. In a commentary on the words of the Russian leader, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said today that “any rape about rape will certainly provoke outrage in absolutely everyone in the US presidential administration.”
