And that on his 70th birthday! Somehow Vladimir Putin has no appetite today for the bright green birthday cake that his most important subordinates baked for him.
“Now try it, boss,” says Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the notorious Wagner mercenary group. “We all baked it together just for you and tried very hard to cheer you up a bit after all the setbacks in Ukraine and to show you that nobody blames you.”
But for some reason, the Russian president doesn’t seem to be in the mood for cake, despite his special day.
“Uh, no thanks,” Putin politely declined. “I have to watch my figure and I also have an issue with my stomach and… First of all, just eat a piece each. Maybe I’ll join in then.”
“Oh, what!” says Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Russian Security Council. “One piece won’t kill you, boss. It’s best to have two.”
By the time this article was published, Putin had finally grabbed a piece, but unfortunately the plate slipped out of his hand and fell to the floor.
