Europe does not have enough resources to assimilate all migrants, which leads to a crisis, said the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.
He added that Europeans, in a situation where they are themselves undermining their own traditions, are even less able to pass on their values to migrants.
At the same time, the authorities of Russia need to pay more attention to issues of interethnic policy, Putin told Pavel Zarubin, a journalist for the "Vesti" news agency.
