Nice joke, but the picture of the lion is actually shot in South-Africa (Johannesburg to be exact), and as far as I know Putin has no power there. The picture was also shot in 2016 >> https://www.altnews.in/no-putin-has-not-left-800-lions-on-russian-streets-to-ensure-lockdown-during-covid-19-pandemic/
Now I have (don't ask me why) always had a nack to analyze how countries handle the layout of their streets, and the yellow side lines, and the way the traffic lights look, do indeed tell me this is South-Africa or one of the neighboring countries. Still makes a nice joke... Now I couldn't imagine this was true... I was certain it had to be a hoax, but still, when it's Putin we're talking about... I had to check 🤣😜
