Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed condolences to the Palestinians and blamed Israel for seizing part of their land. He believes that Israel's settlement policy is one of the reasons for the war in the region, and the "Palestinian problem" is a great injustice for all Islamic believers. This was reported by the Russian publication TASS.
Putin expressed outrage at the way Israel's "settlement policy" led to the annexation of Palestinian land and said that there is a violent conflict in Ukraine.
He also stated that Russia supports the idea of creating an independent Palestinian state, in accordance with the decisions of the UN Security Council.
