Putin to shout a triple “hooray!” he called for honoring Russians fighting in Ukraine last week, during a meeting with graduates of the so-called “Time of Heroes” program, which is supposed to prepare former participants in the invasion of Ukraine for leading positions in state administration and state enterprises.
“The hardest thing is for those guys who are on the battlefield right now. In their honor, in their support, after counting to three, loudly so that they can hear – let’s shout three times ‘Hurrah!'” suggested the 73-year-old Putin.
However, during the chorus chanting, the head of the Kremlin made sounds that were more like yawning.
“Putin can’t even pronounce the word ‘hooray’ clearly anymore – he mumbles and mumbles the words – and yet he still destroys residential buildings with his rockets,” Zelenskyi then took a dig at Putin when he reported on new Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities.
The video of the incriminated meeting originally appeared on the website of the Kremlin, but it has already been deleted, Ukrainian station 24Kanal reported. On Monday morning, the Kremlin website actually reported on the event only through text and photos. However, the video remained available on the websites of Russian state media, including the TASS agency.
