In a bizarre turn of events, Putin has decided to challenge Ukraine to a "technological duel" involving nuclear-capable missiles, suggesting that they test Russia's new Oreshnik missile on Kyiv to see how well Western air defense systems hold up. No, seriously. This is the same man who claims that war makes life more "interesting."
In response, our ever-witty President Zelensky had this to say:
“Sure, Putin, sounds like a fun experiment! Can you send me the coordinates for the test? I’ll make sure to grab a popcorn bucket to watch your missile meet our air defense system. Just a heads up, though—I'll be busy fighting a war, so could you schedule the 'duel' around my other, slightly more pressing engagements? Looking forward to your 'technological duel'... if I’m not too occupied with, you know, saving my country!”
Zelensky's response is the perfect mix of sarcasm and reality check. While Putin dreams of high-tech missile tests, Zelensky is reminding the world that, well, there's a war going on. Maybe someone should send Putin a map showing where reality is located. After all, it seems like he's lost in his own delusions!
TL;DR: Putin wants to turn Ukraine into a missile testing ground—Zelensky's too busy keeping the country alive to entertain that nonsense.
