Sept 11 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that events in Europe, including the far-right victory in a German state election, were the result of "system errors" committed by globalists in the West.

The war has become a ruinous contest of drone and missile attacks that, while devastating to Ukraine, are inflicting visible damage on Russia too. But Mr Putin shows no sign of backing off. The worry is that he may try to escape from what Russians call a tupik (dead-end) as he has in the past: by finding some new way to escalate the conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has linked the strong performance of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the recent state election in Saxony-Anhalt to mistakes by Western countries.

Embracing positions extolled by the Kremlin, the Alternative for Germany party may govern for the first time in a German state.
