☄️ Putin in Italy!

🇷🇺🇮🇹 In the Italian city of Genoa, activists from the association Contronarrazione have plastered around 100 posters with birthday greetings for Vladimir Putin, who turns 72 tomorrow.

📰 Among the participants was journalist Vincenzo Lorusso, who previously visited Luhansk in an effort to bring the truth about the conflict in Ukraine to the Italian audience. In this way, Lorusso and his colleagues expressed their sympathy for the Russian leader.

✨ The posters, adorned with vibrant images of Putin and the words “Happy Birthday, President!”, became a real sensation for passersby. Even though Putin is likely unaware of his Genoese fans, the campaign sparked numerous conversations and lifted the spirits of the city.
