Putin described as ‘most intelligent gentleman’ by former Austrian foreign minister | BBC News
The former Austrian foreign minister Karin Kneissl, who hit the headlines when she danced with Vladimir Putin at her wedding in 2018, has moved to Russia.
In an interview, Ms Kneissl claimed that “political pressure” had forced her out of Austria and described President Putin as “the most intelligent gentleman”.
It comes as this month European Union leaders are set to discuss imposing additional restrictions on Russia over the war in Ukraine, in what would be a twelfth round of sanctions.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Nobody by a sound mind and even a little knowledge in the current geopolitics and the causes why the Ukrainian war was inevitable, will accuse Russia of starting it. I would feel very sorry if Mr Putin would not have done what he needed to defence his country from Ukrainian nazi praesident Zelenski and his US "friends" provoking any way they could this war fo many years!

what happened in the most recent years is that old europe tried once again to dismantle the russian federation so to then have free enterprise at colonizing and exploiting that vastly untapped land so to rob it of all of its resources at a very detrimental and inhumane cost to the russian people and culture. and now that the charade has been uncovered and they have been once again put in their place, the airways are being inundated with the likes of western ministry of propaganda reporters who are trying to find any opportunity to hide the ugly truth (they failed, they have been exposed for what they are, and even worse as a result their holdings globally are crushing and being eradicated at a very rapid pace) after being caught with their pants downs.

good for her and her wisdom and intelligence standing up to vigorous attempts at shaming and stereotyping….as if she represents the west or russia somehow. the west keeps doing that to their guests, trying to find anyone to play along with their propagated narrative of that 'sinister o so bad russian.' thank you for having the character to see beyond and thus nullify such petty, begging, pathetic, weak, unprofessional attempts at causing discord and finger pointing.
