In the drama of the war in Ukrainein the drama of the invasion unleashed by Vladimir Putin and the humanitarian emergency, there is also room for a laugh through clenched teeth. Yes, the world of social media is the land of the possible and the impossible, the realm of the easy, ready, semi-anonymous joke.
But so be it. Let’s rewind the tape until yesterday, Monday 28 February, the day when a first attempt was made at negotiations between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations, which met on the Belarusian border. Negotiations have begun around 12, Italian time, and they lasted five and a half hours later. It was learned that the meeting took place in the “Fisherman’s house“, on the bank of the Pripyat river. The very first points of contact would have been found, a second round of negotiations likely, perhaps already today.
But it was said: laughter through clenched teeth. A joke relaunched by Dagospia, which accounts for the madness of the Twitter people for “the man with the hat that you see in the picture”. It is about Davyd Arakhamia, leader of “People’s Servant”, of the Ukrainian delegation, who presented himself at the negotiating table wearing a baseball cap. The hottest line: “That’s it Checco Zalone“. But not only that, there were those who wrote:” Negotiations and negotiations concluded. The Ukrainian with the hat got the squid at 21 euros per kg and the totals at 9 euros per kg. “” The one with the Texas Hold’Em cap? “, Slyly pointed out another user.
