Putin Calls Accusations of Russian Incitement in Europe ‘Clear Overreach’

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday rejected accusations that Russia was inciting unrest in Europe.

Putin described the allegations as a “clear overreach,” sharply criticizing the claims against Moscow.

The accusations concern an alleged Russian role in encouraging disturbances in European countries, rather than events inside Russia.

His remarks challenged that portrayal of Moscow’s involvement. No further details about the allegations or the unrest in question were provided in the brief account of his comments.
