Russian President Poutine declared that he had attacked Ukraine since February 24 in order to “defend the Ukrainian East”, causing numerous deaths and injuries to the Ukrainian people. This war has aroused the world’s attention, but as a “war-induced person”, Putin was ridiculed by the net as “super afraid of death.”
The Associated Press released a number of photos of Putin meeting with officials in the Kremlin after announcing the attack on Ukraine, and the extraordinary “social distance” in the photos quickly sparked a lot of debate among netizens!
Whether discussing attack strategies with defence officials or strategies for dealing with international economic sanctions with economic officials, Poutine maintained a “social distance” from officials at the extra-long table, a distance estimated to be at least 4 meters, in meetings with officials after the war began.
As you can see from the picture, the “gap” between Poutine and the officials, at least 5 to 6 officials. Why are they so far apart? Many foreign netizens have quipped, “Is Poutine very afraid of death?” The company’s main goal is to provide a safe and secure environment for the public to enjoy the benefits of its services.
In fact, this is not the first time that Poutine has kept a “safe social distance” from other officials. Before the war between Russia and Ukraine, Poutine and French President Macron also maintained a “long distance” during their meeting! The two sides were sitting at opposite ends of a long table, and it was speculated at the time that they were at least 4 metres apart.
On the other hand, netizens from various countries have started to circulate wildly on social media photos of Ukrainian President Zelensky, with his own officials, in sharp contrast to Poutin. As seen in the photos, Zelensky and most of the officials are not distant from each other, as if they were gathered around to discuss the war. In addition, Zelensky gave a video speech last night (March 1) in which he severely criticised the Russian bombing of the second largest city, Kharkov, which killed 16 children.
