United States President Barack Obama has said that Russian President Vladimir Putin “does not have good cards” and that he has not played them as good as the western media sometime gives him credit for, in his fight with the west over Moscow’s actions in Ukraine.
According to the Washington Times, Obama’s comments came in a meeting with business leaders at the White House.
The revolution against the Moscow-backed government in Kiev has been working well for Putin politically and domestically but ruining Russia’s economy for both short as well as long term, said the U.S. Presidnet.
The U.S. and the European Union have imposed a series of economic sanctions against Russia and have offered economic aid to support the newly elected government in Ukraine in its fight against pro-Russian separatists. (ANI)
