Listed below are some of the people getting along well with Putin. Let’s try to see what make them appreciate each other. This isn’t a joyful exercise at all, but it’s just meant to shed some light on why some celebrities have fallen for the Russian monster-dictator.
After 11 years of war and destruction help by the Russians, Bashar al-Assad’s army has launched a recruitment drive for Putin, the lethal price for Moscow’s rescue of the Syrian leader.
Silvio Berlusconi
The two share a worldview, with the ex-Italian premier endorsing the Kremlin’s actions in Syria and Ukraine
Gérard Depardieu
French actor Gérard Depardieu, who’s been saying great things about his friend Vladimir Putin and has become a Russian citizen, just recently slightly changed his tune and came out against the war in Ukraine and called for negotiations.
Bernie Ecclestone
The ex-Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has often spoken highly of President Putin, with the pair sharing a long friendship and came recently out to Putin’s defense following the Russian leader’s invasion of Ukraine.
Jean-Claude Killy
My childhood’s hero who worked closely with Putin during Sochi said: "He's straight, he has a big heart, he makes very good decisions. He's very smart. I think he's poorly treated today in the world. I feel bad about it. I feel very sorry about him because I believe it is unfair. It's politically a mistake not to keep Russia in our arms, It's a big mistake." I suspect Killy was well compensated for his work at Sochi...
Steven Seagal
Another buddy actor, he’s sparked fury after claiming both sides of the Ukraine war are 'one family' and blaming an 'outside entity' for spreading propaganda against the Russian invasion. The 69 year old actor, a friend of Putin, was granted Russian citizenship in 2016
Donald Trump
In the struggle uniting the free world against an autocrat's lawless aggression, Trump sided with Putin, calling him a "genius". Since his political career began, Trump has backed Putin in ways connected directly to the Russian's quest to subjugate that country.
Eric Zemour
The populist and anti-Muslim French presidential candidate has repeatedly expressed his admiration for Putin and rejected the idea of welcoming Ukrainian refugees. His popularity seems to be slumping as a result.
Have I forgotten someone?
