Putin Says He Deserves Ukraine as Consolation for Losing White House

[Zorro]

MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Offering the diplomatic community a new rationale for his recent actions, Vladimir Putin said that he deserves Ukraine as consolation for losing the White House in 2020.

“Losing control of the most powerful nation on earth was a bitter pill for me to swallow, to say the least,” the Russian President said. “Giving me Ukraine would make things somewhat better.”

“It’s only fair,” he continued.

At the White House, President Biden called Putin’s logic “unacceptable,” but added, “At least he admits he lost.”

4. I knew it.

Borowitz is getting pretty easy to spot lately. That's not to say there's a kernel of truth there. I'm sure his sock puppet, TFG, wouldn't have blinked an eye at Putin for anything he did.

5. He lost Ukraine too, when his sock puppet was overthrown.

Manafort had to find him a new sock puppet.
