Does President Putin speak English?

August 17, 2025 3:06am CST
President Putin has been having meeting with American presidents for decades, he has witnessed 5 of them and I wonder if he speaks English or needs an interpreter. Does the most powerful man in the world speak english?

He doesn't..at least I have not seen any video. Many world leaders choose their language on International platforms though they can talk in English. Our Prime Minister does that though he talks very well in English too..I think that it's perfectly okay.

@ogbenishyna44 Yes. I saw some glimpse of this Alaska meet. President Putin did communicate a bit in English too.

I heard he can speak some English. I think it's OK to have a common conversation.

He can speak it but rarely does. He speaks Russian as a power move.
