Answering a question about Zaluzhnyi, Putin suddenly began to stutter and hesitate. The video fragment is being actively spread by news agencies and Telegram channels

UNIAN writes: “Russians continue to spread disinformation about the Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief. This time, the source of the fake was Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who said at a meeting with so-called 'war correspondents' that Valerii Zaluzhnyi was not in Ukraine.”

The News Factory YouTube channel also showed a fragment of a video of a meeting with the so-called Russian 'war correspondents' who are one of the mouthpieces of Kremlin propaganda in the war with Ukraine.

One of the propagandists asked Putin about the whereabouts of Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi. The Russian president did not manage to formulate his response immediately - the dictator could not say his opinion at first. He said that he allegedly knew Zaluzhnyi's whereabouts, according to the News Factory.

Mykola Kniazhytskyi, a member of the Ukrainian parliament and journalist, also posted on his Facebook page Putin's response to the question about Zaluzhnyi.

“This is Putin's reaction to the question about Zaluzhnyi. Putin is scared. Obviously, he is afraid of Zaluzhnyi as he has never been afraid of anyone in his life. Why? Putin knows that Zaluzhnyi is a specialist who has principles and knows how to love. That's why he will win. This does not mean that it will happen tomorrow and easily, but it will happen. The paradox is that Zaluzhnyi does not look like some kind of a tsar, the greatest leader of our time, a great intellectual or a star artist. We don't know much about him at all. But the successes of the army at the front under this man's leadership are impressive. Interestingly, Zaluzhnyi has never said a bad word about any Ukrainian who is not a traitor or collaborator. The only person he wants to defeat is the enemy. He did not promise to ride into Moscow on a white horse tomorrow and said that the enemy should not be underestimated. That's why Putin is afraid of Zaluzhnyi,” Kniazhytskyi wrote.

Text in the video:

-  Zaluzhnyi, Vladimir Vladimirovich.

-  ... Where is Zaluzhnyi?

- There is a whole channel called “Where is Zaluzhnyi?”

- I I I I I I know... I think I know. (Pause). But, but, but you ask him where he is. But, but, but you have to switch to a foreign language for that. I think he's overseas. But I-I could be wrong…
