Moscow — Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, reacted to Western leaders mocking his athletic feats by stating that they would look “disgusting if they attempted to imitate his naked-torso appearances.”
Putin made this comment while on a Turkmenistan visit, when he was asked about jokes about him by Western leaders at the G7 summit.
Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, joked that G7 leaders could remove their clothes to show that they were tougher than Putin during Russia-West tensions about Moscow’s military intervention in Ukraine.
Justin Trudeau, the Canadian premier, joked that Western leaders might try to match Putin’s naked torso photos with a “bare chested horseback riding show,” one of his well-publicized athletic adventures.
Putin responded to reporters by stating that Western leaders don’t drink alcohol and don’t play sports.
He said, “I don’t know how they wanted their undressed above or below the waist.” “But it would be a horrible sight in any case.”
He said that in order to be healthy, one must stop using alcohol and other harmful habits and engage in physical activity and sports.
