Former boss of a Formula 1 series, businessman Bernie Ecclestone gave an incomprehensible interview in the UK Good Morning Britain in the program.
Already at the age of 91, Ecclestone spoke Vladimir from Putin in a laudatory tone.
– I’d take a bullet for him. He’s a first-class person, Ecclestone started.
“He’s only doing what he thinks is best for Russia,” Ecclestone continued.
After this, Ecclestone spoke to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky comedian background and said Zelensky should make a stronger effort to engage in dialogue with Putin because Putin is a “sensible person” according to Ecclestone.
Russian propaganda
The presenters of the program understandably could not believe their ears and reminded the mogul that Putin’s war has resulted in numerous deaths.
– It was not intentional, Ecclestone replied, and then began to blame the United States.
The reporter wanted to clarify whether Ecclestone meant that war could have been avoided if Zelenskyi had acted differently, and that there was not so much wrong with Putin’s actions.
– Absolutely, Ecclestone said.
The British Ecclestone was in the lead of the Formula 1 series until 2017. Putin and Ecclestone, who started a brutal war of aggression in Ukraine, have become friends over the years.
After recent comments in support of Russian propaganda, Ecclestone is unlikely to be seen next weekend at the F1 depot as the season continues with the UK race at Silverstone.
