Putin, speaking Thursday during a live call-in show televised nationwide, deplored the Senate's move but added that the Western sanctions against Moscow also have hurt the West itself.
KIM: Putin criticized unnamed opposition leaders who are only interested in exploiting the country's problems for their own political PR.
Putin did not deny that the Russian economy is suffering several challenges, adding that this phenomenon affects citizens' income level.
Putin is becoming increasingly frustrated with allegations that Russian Federation interfered in the 2016 US election and used the call-in show to reaffirm his position. A farmer praised him for counter-sanctions, thanks to which Russian agriculture has never had it so good. "Because he's no criminal", the President said, answering a question about the possibility of extradition. "I'll have to check that", said Putin, who fielded nearly 70 questions in just under four hours, in an event that Kremlin watchers often liken to a tsar listening to his petitioners.

Many of them asked Putin to address the poor state of roads, housing, construction projects, the mortgage market, education and the accountability of officials. "They do not want to quarrel with the Americans and no one directly speaks about this". And there was the odd softball, such as the Russian who wanted to pass along his hope for peace in Syria. This made Snowden a hero to millions and a villain to millions more.
The Russian leader claimed that the "crisis is over", pointing at modest economic growth over the past nine months, low inflation and rising currency reserves.
Putin's responses come off as spontaneous, and state-run media fawn over his command of the facts.
"We don't know that". These questions asked things like "Putin, do you really think that people believe in this circus with staged questions?". There were reports of secret rehearsals outside Moscow for individuals that will be reading questions on camera.
