19 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksii Danilov, assured this Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not the one who traveled the day before to the Ukrainian regions of Luganks and Kherson, but that he did “a double” yours.
“There was no Putin there. This is a well-known fact. To communicate with the real Putin, you must spend at least ten or fourteen days in quarantine,” assured the ‘number two’ of Ukrainian National Security during a press conference .
According to Danilov, Putin is really a “scared man” who avoids danger at all times, so he would not run the risk of moving to these regions, on Ukrainian territory although annexed by Russia.
The secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council has recalled that, when he receives international visitors, Putin usually sits for months a few meters away from his interlocutor. “This is the opposite of our president,” he has countered.
For Danilov, Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zelensky, differ greatly in their treatment of people and their impromptu trips. The Ukrainian president “can visit the front line at any time” and be “directly” with the Army, he has assessed.
“This is our difference. The difference with the grandfather of the bunker Putin, who will soon be afraid of himself,” Danilov has settled, according to the Ukrainian news agency UNIAN.
The Ukrainian side, including its authorities, have spread in recent months, since the outbreak of the war at the end of February 2022, the theory that President Putin has several “doubles” posing as him during his events. facing the public.
Putin made a surprise trip to the Kherson and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine on Tuesday to talk with their military leaders and learn about the status of the offensive. From the Kremlin they stressed that the visit “was not scheduled in advance.”
