Putin Praises Queen Elizabeth, Won’t Attend Funeral

September 9, 2022 Britain, Russia

The New York Post reports:

Russian President Vladimir Putin joined a chorus of world leaders who have been paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, calling her death an “irreparable loss.” But the Russian strongman’s words of sympathy immediately drew jeers.

In a letter to Britain’s new monarch, King Charles III, the Kremlin strongman said the Queen “rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as authority on the world stage.”

Not everyone was impressed with Putin’s paean, with Piers Morgan telling the Russian leader to “stick” his condolences. Addressing the warmonger directly, Morgan said: “It’s the loss you’re causing to lives in Ukraine that I’m concerned about. So stick your condolences where the sun don’t shine.”

Fox News reports:



Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be among the heads of state to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s upcoming funeral, his spokesperson announced Friday.

Dimitry Peskov, speaking to Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, said Putin is not being considered for Moscow’s representation at the event, noting that the Kremlin is waiting to learn about the protocol of the ceremony before deciding who will attend.

The United Kingdom has firmly opposed Putin’s bloody invasion of Ukraine, which has lasted nearly 200 days.
