‘I joke less’ – Putin reveals how Ukraine war has changed his personality

Russias decision to launch what Putin calls a special military operation in Ukraine should have come earlier than 2022 and the war has made him smile less, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday during an end-of-year speech in Moscow.We should have prepared systematically for it, he said of the war.Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, leading to the continuing war, which has lasted for almost 3 years, far longer than Russian officials had initially expected. Putin also said that the conflict has changed him. I joke less and almost stopped laughing, he added. Speaking about outgoing US President Joe Bidens decision to pardon his son Hunter, Putin said it showed that Biden is more human than the politician.As for Biden, hes a politician, and its always important which side prevails: political or human, he said. It turned out that there was more human in Biden. I wouldnt condemn him for this. Hunter Biden was prosecuted for tax offences and charges related to the possession of a firearm.  The post I joke less – Putin reveals how Ukraine war has changed his personality appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
