Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing online mockery for his fear of a potential assassination attempt. Reports suggest that the Kremlin leader is taking shelter in bunkers due to suspicions of a coup being planned within his own circle.

In addition to this internal threat, Putin is also under increased pressure from Ukraine’s advanced missiles and drones capable of striking from longer distances. Memes circulating online depict Putin as anxious about potential disruptions to his upcoming Victory Day parade in Moscow by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

An AI-generated video shows Putin being pursued by a Ukrainian UAV, with Zelensky controlling the drone. Despite Zelensky’s call for an end to hostilities, Putin remains defiant. Due to the ongoing conflict, Putin has had to modify the parade, opting to showcase cardboard tanks instead of traditional military vehicles.

Satirical memes depict Putin appealing to Zelensky for a ceasefire to ensure the safety of his parade. Images show Putin enclosed in a protective cage structure, symbolizing his perceived vulnerability. The online mockery extends to portraying Putin seeking refuge in a transparent inflatable sphere and wearing full metal armor among war veterans.

Further parodies portray Putin in comical scenarios, such as being shielded by anti-drone nets or being led by donkeys on a cart labeled as the “toilet troops.” Criticism of Putin’s leadership and actions during the conflict is evident in the online content, with calls for accountability and justice for alleged war crimes.
