Putin tells Russian women they CAN have sex with World Cup tourists: Spokesman says 'it's up to them' after politician and football WAG said not to sleep with foreigners

Vladimir Putin has dismissed calls for Russian women to refrain from sleeping with World Cup tourists. MP Mikhail Degtyaryov has urged Russia’s women to enjoy flings with tourists this summer – and conceive babies with them. He said: “The more love stories we have connected to the World Cup, the more people from different countries fall in love, the more children are born, the better. “Many years from now these children will remember that their parents’ love story began during the World Cup in Russia in 2018.” But on Wednesday another Russian MP warned against sexual relations with visiting football supporters. MP Tamara Pletnyova, head of the Russian parliament’s committee for families, women and children, said: “We must give birth to our own children.​​​​​​​ Vladimir Putin, who was at the game in Moscow, has yet to comment on MP Degtyaryov’s comments. But a spokesman distanced the 65-year-old leader from the debate. He said: “As for our Russian women, they will make their own judgment. “They are the best women in the world.”
