Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has triggered the Kremlin with a conspiracy theory questioning whether Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is even still alive, the Daily Beast reports.
“I don’t quite understand who to speak with and about what. I’m not sure the president of Russia, who sometimes appears against a green screen, is the right one. I don’t quite understand if he is alive, if he is making the decisions, or who is making the decisions there,” said Zelensky in a video address to the Davos crowd, which pissed the Kremlin off enough to respond. “Clearly, Zelensky would prefer for neither Russia nor Putin to exist. The sooner he realizes that Russia exists and will exist, the better for such a country as Ukraine,” said Kremlin spokesworm Dmitry Peskov.
