Russian President Putin and the Temple Mount


Russian President Putin has visited Israel on a number of occasions.  In 2012, he visited the Western Wall while being accompanied by Israeli and Russian security personal.  Before departing the area, Putin stopped to converse with an ultra-Orthodox Jewish immigrant who had shouted out to the president earlier, “Welcome President Putin.”  The two men talked about the Wall and the Temple build by King Solomon.  Before departing, Putin is to have said, “That is why I came here to pray that the Temple will be rebuilt.”  They shook hands and Putin said good-bye.  I found a video of the conversation.  It is in Russian and would love it if someone could verify that that is what President Putin said.
