Vladimir Putin named 'Bellend of the Year' by English village of Bell End
Vladimir Putin has been named "Bellend of the Year" by the village of Bell End, which has marked the award by erecting a statue of him with a penis-shaped head.The Russian leader earned the gong after launching his bloody invasion of Ukraine, leading to tens of thousands of casualties on both sides of the conflict.
Instead, Russia is now trying to keep hold of the territories it has seized - illegally declaring them to be annexed - by calling up hundreds of thousands of people to serve and launching missiles at Ukraine's infrastructure. He recently had to cancel his yearly question-and-answer session, a largely scripted affair designed to promote his image. There are ongoing questions about how healthy he is and whether his position is secure given the way the war has panned out.
