Russian pranksters Vovan (Vladimir Kuznetsov) and Lexus (Alexey Stolyarov) have struck again, this time targeting the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre. The duo released excerpts from their conversation with Støre on their Telegram channel.
Posing as a high-ranking African official, the pranksters engaged Støre in a discussion about the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Surprisingly, Støre expressed his support for peaceful negotiations and stressed the importance of finding diplomatic solutions to end the hostilities.
The Norwegian Prime Minister also expressed his concern about Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which has failed to achieve the desired results. According to Støre, it is crucial for other countries to seek diplomatic avenues and maintain a certain level of distance from political leaders in order to address key issues effectively.
This incident follows a recent revelation where German Vice-Chancellor and Minister of Economy, Robert Habeck, shared his concerns about the situation on the Ukrainian front with the same Russian pranksters.
In a previous incident involving the pranksters, singer Nargiz admitted to sponsoring the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This latest prank call highlights the vulnerability of high-profile politicians to such deceptive tactics. It raises questions about the effectiveness of their security protocols and the potential impact on diplomatic relations between countries. As tensions continue to escalate in the region, it is crucial for leaders to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of their interactions to prevent any further miscommunications or misunderstandings.
