President Vladimir Putin has condemned the killing of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk as a “disgusting crime,”<\/em> offering his condolences to the victim’s family and close associates.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an extended Q&A session following his address to the plenary session of the Valdai forum in southern Russia on Thursday, the Russian leader pointed to the danger of polarization in societies.<\/p>\n

Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on a university campus in the US state of Utah on September 10, while speaking at a public event. According to investigators, a sniper fired a single shot from a rooftop, striking Kirk in the neck. He was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead later that afternoon.<\/p>\n

”This is a disgusting crime, even more so because it happened live on air, in fact, we all saw it. It truly looked repulsive, terrible. First, of course, I offer my condolences to Kirk’s family and all his loved ones. We sympathize and share in their grief,”<\/em> the Russian leader said.<\/p>\n

Putin went on to suggest that the assassination reflects the profound divisions within American society.<\/p>\n

”This is a sign of what happens, a deep rift in society. There is no need to escalate the situation from our side because the political leadership tries to set it straight in domestic policy. I think the the US is going this way,”<\/em> Putin said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
