Russian President Vladimir Putin shot again at Western leaders who mocked his athletic exploits, saying they’d look “disgusting” in the event that they tried to emulate his bare-torso appearances.
Putin made the remark throughout a go to to Turkmenistan early Thursday when requested about Western leaders joking about him on the G7 summit.
As they sat down for talks, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson jested that G7 leaders might take their garments off to “show that we’re tougher than Putin” amid Russia-West tensions over Moscow’s army motion in Ukraine.
Canadian premier Justin Trudeau joked that Western leaders might attempt to match Putin’s bare torso footage with a “bare-chested horseback riding display,” certainly one of his extensively publicized athletic adventures.
Speaking to reporters, Putin retorted that, in contrast to him, Western leaders abuse alcohol and don’t do sports activities.
“I don’t know how they wanted to get undressed, above or below the waist,” he stated. ”“But I think it would be a disgusting sight in any case.”
He famous that to look good “it’s necessary to stop abusing alcohol and other bad habits, do physical exercise and take part in sports.”
