Putin’s cringe-worthy copy of Zelenskyy ridiculed online
Views (72)
A video comparing the behavior of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was shared on social media on June 13, drawing mocking criticism from pro-Ukrainain social media users.
The video shows Putin meeting with wounded Russian soldiers at an infirmary, dragging over his own chair — a departure from his usual distance from even his own ministers. Social media users were quick to draw comparisons between the dictator’s seeming uncomfortableness with similar videos from Zelenskyy, where the Ukrainian leader looks relaxed and personable.
From the outset of Russia's full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian leader has rejected formality to create trust during his media engagements. At one press conference, the president answered questions while sitting closer to journalists, having brought over a chair for this purpose.
Putin's PR team appears to have adopted this technique, transforming the Russian dictator into a pathetic parody of Zelenskyy.
