Putin's old crude analogy amuses viewers at Moscow parade
During the May 9th military parade in Moscow, a video captured a conversation between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, sparking humorous online reactions. Social media users quickly created comedic videos using a quote from Putin, originally from 2014, which compared economic situations using a crude analogy. The quote was used in response to a question about the ruble's value and sanctions. The parade also hosted leaders from several countries, including Egypt, Zimbabwe, Kazakhstan, and Belarus, though Belarusian President Lukashenko was seated separately from Putin.
