In the midst of widespread speculation of an invasion of Ukraine, netizens were suddenly transfixed by a clip from the animated American sitcom, Family Guy. The clip has gone viral online and netizens have compared it to the Ukraine crisis.
The old clip from the Season 8 episode of 'Spies Reminiscent of Us' which aired in 2009 shows the figure of the Russian leader brandishing several types of weapons to frighten those around him. Next, he turned the stick into a coat hanger and used the arrow he shot against the wall to hang a tie.
Finally, he pulled out a rifle, but it turned out to be only for lighting a cigarette. The other people present in the room immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The clip entitled 'Putin's Ukraine Strategy' shared by Twitter user Mohammed Soliman has been viewed more than 1 million times so far. Users respond with various reactions.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Tuesday accused Russia of disturbing peace and violating the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Zelenskiy insisted that Ukraine would not give up its land but was committed to staying on the 'peaceful and diplomatic path'.
Putin ordered the deployment of troops to "maintain the peace" in the two breakaway regions. An emergency UN Security Council meeting has taken place to discuss the developments. The United States has also imposed sanctions, blocking Russian trade and investment. Thus launched the Indian Express, Thursday (24/2/2022)
