Context piece
- The commentary mocks Vladimir Putin’s public stories about animals and portrays him as a Russian ruler losing points in a battle with Donald Trump.
- It also attacks Trump’s actions toward Canada and his negotiations with Putin, including the involvement of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Over the course of a week, Vladimir Putin told Russians stories about orcas, polar bears, sharks and tigers, the commentary says. Without the thousand-kilometre border with “Moskovia,” it adds, watching Russia’s “Reich führer” lose points in a battle with a “dementia-stricken” Trump might be entertaining.
The text also ridicules Trump’s attacks on Canada and what it calls his “negotiating onanism” with Putin. It says Trump has used the services of Steve Witkoff, described as a builder of Russian origin, and Jared Kushner.
