UK Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace has been ridiculed by Russians for posing as Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Schmidt. In videos with small cuts, Wallace exposed some aspects of the two countries’ diplomacy, including the British interest in Ukraine’s entry into NATO.

The video call took place on March 17 and lasted more than 10 minutes. In it, Wallace noted that joining NATO was not an easy task and required the approval of 30 countries, but that the British government had been involved in this process for at least 5 years to help the Ukrainians.

In addition, he commented on the United Kingdom’s support for the resumption of the nuclear weapons development program in Ukraine, as a measure of greater security for the country against Russian invasions. In this passage, the narrator, who acted like Schmidt, comments, “This is a difficult question, but we thought about getting started.”

According to the Daily Mail, the Defense Ministry has accused Wallace’s footage of being damaged by Russia and is spreading the Kremlin’s propaganda to divert the world from what is happening in the attack on Ukraine.

The authors of these pranks will be Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stoliarov, a couple who come through “Lexus and Woven”. Both have already made fun of Prince Harry, Boris Johnson and Elton John.
