    he spent more than two hours with Khan discussing the minutiae of Moscow and Islamabad’s bilateral relations. Putin came across as “chilled” during the talks, said a source close to Khan. Afterwards, he invited his guest to stay for an unscheduled, lavish Kremlin lunch. At one point, Khan asked about the elephant in the room: the war that Putin had unleashed a few hours earlier.

    “Don’t worry about that,” Putin told him. “It’ll be over in a few weeks.”

      This is literally someone told that someone else told them something that the third person say to the other person…

      This is only trustworthy because you trust The Guardian.

        It’s intentional, their source is a third party source reporting on a second hand source of a closed meeting that literally cannot be verified because it’s closed door.

        Add to that their source is an entertainment network who in court said they are not a news source, that they do not provide news only entertainment.

        It’s harassing them with a source only mildly more trustworthy then their own.

          So did I genius. What you gave is hearsay. What I asked for is a primary source of Putin or any other Russian official saying something of the sort on record. It doesn’t exist because the whole story is made up for gullible simpletons such as yourself.

                No it’s not. There’s no primary source because it’s a closed door meeting ie. Not public and no notes, your source says it’s second hand so why are you arguing it isn’t.

                    Uh huh. Just like Milley appears in that video where he factually never does.
