Video: Putin Gets Carried Away Drawing During a Meeting on the Fuel Crisis
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin found himself in the spotlight due to a bizarre incident during an online meeting on the fuel crisis in Russia. Instead of listening attentively to the government officials’ report, the Russian dictator began scribbling haphazardly with a pen on a piece of paper, sparking lively discussion on social media.
On July 8, Putin held a special meeting regarding the fuel shortage in Russia.
During the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak reported on the situation in the fuel market and the growing concern among Russians over the shortage of gasoline and diesel.
In the video that was released, it is clear that Putin, with his eyes downcast on his papers, barely reacted to Novak’s remarks. Instead, he ran his pen across the sheet, drawing chaotic lines and shapes without lifting it from the paper.

Despite this, during the meeting, the Russian dictator acknowledged the existence of a fuel crisis and instructed the government to accelerate measures to stabilize the situation. Separately, he ordered that fuel be supplied to the temporarily occupied Crimea as soon as possible, criticizing officials for delaying decision-making.
This is not the first time Putin’s behavior during official events has drawn attention. Previously, social media users actively discussed a video in which he appeared in camouflage during a meeting in a room presented as a military headquarters, and an unusual incident involving a pencil drew attention at the time.
Recently, a slip of the tongue by U.S. President Donald Trump also caused a stir when, during a public speech, he confused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with Vladimir Putin.
Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine’s strikes on Russian fuel infrastructure had already yielded tangible results. According to him, the country, which for decades profited from oil and fuel exports, is now forced to seek opportunities to import energy resources itself.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has supported the idea of creating a network of small oil refineries in the country to increase fuel supplies to the domestic market.
