Italian tourist praises Putin on a bus to Ukraine - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



An Italian citizen traveling from Italy to Ukraine, wearing a traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt, openly praised Vladimir Putin and criticized Ukraine while speaking to fellow passengers. His comments, captured on video and shared online, quickly sparked outrage across Ukrainian social media. As the story spread, Ukrainian authorities were alerted. By the time the bus reached the Chop-Zahony border checkpoint, the man was already expected. Join Jonasz Rewiński in new episode of Break The Fake to find out what happened to the Italian man, how social media amplified the story and why Ukraine's response sent a clear message: propaganda has no disguise.
