President Russia's Vladimir Putin surprised a boy this afternoon during a conversation with volunteers and children of deceased participants in a special military operation on Red Square. Journalist Pavel Zarubin posted the corresponding video on his Telegram channel.
In the footage, the head of state stands in a circle of volunteers and poses for photographers. In front of him stood a boy, to whom Putin leaned and said a few words after the photo session was completed. When the president began to say goodbye, the boy unexpectedly asked the question: “What are you, Putin?”
“Yes, yes, for now,” the president answered with a smile.
“The most vivid dialogue and the childish surprise of the day,” the journalist commented.
