Putin annoyed with the US reporter: “She is a beautiful woman but she doesn’t listen”

Russian President Vladimir Putin was accused of sexist attitudes towards CNBC journalist Hadley Gamble. Putin called her “beautiful” and “pretty” and immediately pointed out that she did not understand what he was saying. The subject of the dispute was gas prices and the interview took place during the Russian energy week. “She is a beautiful woman, really pretty. But I tell her one thing and she immediately tells me the opposite, as if she hadn’t heard what I said,” Putin said during the debate. “We are increasing supplies to Europe, Gazprom alone by 10%. Russia has increased supplies by 15%. We are increasing, not decreasing, supplies. Did I really say something so difficult to understand?” having been pressed on the matter by the journalist.
