Western leaders would look ‘disgusting’ without shirts, Putin says
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES The London Times’ Tony Halpin suspects Russian women will be swooning over photos of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin riding horseback bare-chested.Vladimir Putin criticized Western world leaders Thursday after attendees of the G7 summit mocked the Russian president’s frequent shirtless appearance in front of the cameras.
“I don’t know how they wanted to get undressed, above or below the waist,” Mr. Putin said to reporters. “But I think it would be a disgusting sight in any case. It’s necessary to stop abusing alcohol and other bad habits, do physical exercise and take part in sports.”
