Putin twice cynically “ignored” question about killing of peaceful Ukrainians

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin ignored journalists’ question about the killing of civilians in Ukraine.

After Trump and Putin landed at the U.S. Elmendorf-Richardson military base, they shook hands right on the runway and moved a little closer to the journalists.

One of the reporters asked Putin whether he would stop killing civilians.

In response, Putin made a gesture as if he had not heard the question.

A little later, when the two leaders arrived at the meeting venue, the dictator was asked the same question about killing peaceful Ukrainians. He again pretended not to hear anything.

Putin was also asked why Trump should trust him. The Kremlin leader’s response was not audible in the broadcast.
