Putin Ally Tells Russians 'Not Wanted' in Europe to Vacation in Africa

Aclose ally of Vladimir Putin has come up with a solution for Russians who have found their travel plans curtailed by restrictions due to Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine—go to Africa.

Dmitry Medvedev, who was president between 2008 and 2012, and is now deputy chairman of Russia's Federation Council, made the comments during a forum in Moscow in which he said his country's deepening ties with the continent made it an ideal vacation destination.

In September 2022, the European Union suspended the visa facilitation agreement with Russia which restricted, although did not ban, the entry of Russian citizens into Europe.

"We could be going to Africa for vacations among other places," he said. "Naturally, travel around Russia but also go to Africa. They know how to give a warm welcome there."

"This is absolutely true. I can confirm this by the memories that I have," he added in the clip shared by Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko.

"So who wants to guess what happened to Medvedev in Africa?" wrote Gerashchenko next to the video.

Over the course of the war in Ukraine, Putin has championed a pivot away from a Western-led world order towards one in which the so-called Global South takes more prominence. This was the messaging he pushed during the Russia-Africa summit held in July in St Petersburg.

Russians should vacation in the African nation with the most cannibals, the most head hunters and wild crocodiles and lions.

Your Churchill is about to boogie

WATCH: Last night on @LoomerUnleashed, I reported that Zelensky @ZelenskyyUa has decided to move to Florida. It appears as if the "leader" of the Ukrainian people, President Volodymyr Zelensky, has decided to turn tail and run away from the conflict that he has stoked in his own… pic.twitter.com/ASxL128uRQ— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) December 13, 2023

“...with the most cannibals, the most head hunters and wild crocodiles and lions...”

That would be the USA. You ever travel to Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Memphis and Chicago? They don’t have the most crocodiles and lions but they have the most “animals”. /spit

That works out well, because all the Africans are going to Europe.

He’s afraid the “fighting to the last Ukrainian” phrase could be taken too literally for his taste.

Putin has killed / severely injured 4 times as many Russians as he has with Ukrainians:

Approximately +300.000 Russian troops lost, VS 70.000 Ukrainians.
All that on the Ukrainian front...

Putin hoped to take whole of Ukraine in less than 21 days...
