"I didn't interfere then, and I don't want to interfere now, and I don't intend to do it in the future," he said in an interview for Stone's new film Revealing Ukraine, which was shown at the Taormina Film Fest in Italy.

The Russian president proceeded by saying that Russian bloggers, whatever point of view they expressed on the Internet, could not have played the key role in the US elections.

"If you want to return to the elections in the United States again, well, listen, a huge country, a huge people with their own problems, with their own ideas about what is good and what is bad, with the understanding that… in the previous few years – ten years, for example – with a huge increase in the well-being of the ruling class and rich people, nothing has changed for the better for the middle class," Putin said in an interview for Stone's new documentary Revealing Ukraine, shown at the Taormina Film Fest in Italy.
