'The borders of Russia do not end' says Putin at awards ceremony

Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday, November 24, attended the award ceremony for the Russian Geographic Society in Moscow.

Putin was introduced to two young boys who showed off an impressive aptitude for geography, despite their young ages, by answering questions put to them by the president.

After nine-year-old Miroslav Askirko correctly defined where the Russian border ended, Putin joked “The borders of Russia do not end.”

The leader went on to add 'that was a joke,' as the audience laughed and applauded.

He said: "But this is a joke!"
But Euronevs not translated!

[alfs]

It`s a math joke! The borders of ANY country is a continuous line and cannot end.

[willkanoff]

Any country's border never ends. It's a CLOSED LINE...

[anatolysimonov]

They didn't translate "it was a joke"

[SimplyChess_]

For those who didn't get it, he meant that Russian borders are circled, as for each other country. In his questions, he didn't ask "in the west", so it was an impossible question to answer, but Putin's answer was 100% correct, you can't find a break in geographical borders. It was a joke, but of course with some additional meaning.

You see no need for NATO he was joking lololol

And now that those kids are probably grown-up, they will be mobilized to fight in his war in Ukraine.

[mehhmehhme]

I don't know how to take that but at least he said it.

[marcinborawski]

I live in Poland and I'd take that as a joke, but probably many of neighbours would get insta-triggered.
It is a nice joke when you think about it, the Russia itself has neighbouring countries, but just like in the case of any other country its border is a closed loop or whatever you call it in maths, so it doesn't have defined end or starting point...

Surely Border has no end just like human thoughts! Human being is free without boundery 🎉

[TruthAlwaysPrevail]

This is a joke, but what euro done to Africa is not a joke

[ThatGuy-kczb]

I will never support Russia, but that was a joke about how big Russia actually is, or was it ?

[Ark]

Does a circle has its end?
Russian border does not end because it is like a circle.
If you draw a pencil around the Russian's border, you will end up at the point you started. It does not end.
KISS (keep it simple stupid)
