As Russian mercenary group Wagner remains hostile against the country’s top military establishment and President Vladimir Putin, the Twitter handle of the opposition Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) posted a morphed picture of Putin calling him “a woman”. However, it later turned out that the account was hacked.
“Official commentary of artificial intelligence Vladimir Zhirinovsky in connection with recent events: Putin is a woman,” read a comment that was posted with Putin’s photo on the Twitter handle.
Chairman of the LDPR, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, clarified in a tweet that the party’s account was hacked and necessary steps were being taken to restore access to the channel.
“The LDPR team is forced to report that unknown attackers have gained unauthorised access to our Twitter account. We are taking this incident very seriously and are taking all necessary steps to restore access to our channel,” wrote (as per rough Russian translation) Zhirinovsky on his social media handle.
