The claim

Poetin noemt Klaus Schwab een globalistische terrorist die de mensheid gevangen houdt, en zei dat zijn dagen geteld zijn.

Rating

Nee, de uitspraken aan het adres van Klaus Schwab werden compleet verzonnen. In de bewuste toespraak van Poetin waarnaar verwezen wordt, is nergens enige vermelding van Klaus Schwab of het WEF te vinden.
