Ukraine Foreign Minister Calls Putin A ‘D*ckhead,’ Russia Explodes

It was not the most diplomatic term for a so-called diplomat. Ukraine’s foreign minister casually referred to Vladimir Putin as the Russian equivalent of “dickhead.” Andriy Deshchytsia’s salty comment, which he made while trying to reason with protesters outside the Russian embassy in Ukraine, sparked calls from Russia for his resignation. Deshchytsia showed up at the embassy in response to sometimes-violent protests outside the embassy. Ukrainians overturned cars and broke windows at the embassy over the weekend after pro-Russian separatists shot down a Ukrainian military plane, killing all 49 people aboard.

After Deshchytsia tried to calm the crowd, he was shouted down. According to The Guardian, he then said, ” I am for you protesting. I am ready to be here with you and say ‘Russia, get out of Ukraine.’ … Yes, Putin is a khuilo, yes.” The Guardian translates “khuilo” as a Russian swearword that means “f—er ” or “dickhead.”

That went viral.

Sort of to counter the hagiographic songs about Putin.
