Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking with the first lady of the United States Melania Trump at the G20 summit, told her about Russian nature and measures to support motherhood, and also "spoiled" a bit about fishing in Siberia.
"Especially women were interested in our demography program. I told them about when and how we introduced measures to support motherhood and childhood, what maternal capital is, and on what principles we organized this work. They were very interested in this, they were surprised by the amount of their mother's capital, "Putin said.
In addition, the president also talked about other measures to support motherhood and childhood of the first lady of the United States and the wife of the Prime Minister of Italy.
To the playful question of the TV presenter, whether Putin was recruiting his interlocutors, the Russian president with a smile remarked:
No, I have not done this for a long time, although I loved doing it. It was my job, as you know, for many years.
