US President's special envoy Stephen Whitkoff called Russian dictator Vladimir Putin a great leader.
This was pointed out by editor and fact-checker Ilya Ber.
He noted that the entire federal Russian press is citing Witkoff's quote from Trump's phone call with Putin: "Two great leaders united for the good of humanity."
" To be honest, I doubted it. Because "everything has a limit, brothers." It is clear that propagandists will lie - they will take it cheaply. At first, I translated the phrase literally into English - I did not google it. Ok, I think I guessed. Then I looked, and where he commented on it at all. It turned out, on Fox News (logically). I turned on a 6-minute excerpt. I listen - no, there is no! There is praise for Trump, but about Putin it is simply respectful, well, and in general it is positive, the negotiations are wonderful, everything is cool. And then at 05.10... boom: "It was these two great leaders coming together for the betterment of mankind". Curtain ", - wrote Ber.
