Russian president praises terror group for releasing Sasha Troufanov but sidesteps return of 4 Israeli hostages' bodies; Israeli officials condemns Russian media for falsely blaming Israel for their deaths.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday praised Hamas for the release of Russian-Israeli hostage Alexander "Sasha" Troufanov but made no mention of the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including a mother and her two young children, who were returned to Israel earlier in the day.
During a meeting at the Kremlin with Russia’s Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar, Putin said he wished to send "best regards to Alexander Troufanov and his loved ones on his release from captivity." He credited the development to Russia’s "consistent policy in ensuring Middle East stability, which has earned the trust of many partners in the region."
His remarks were in stark contrast to Russian state media’s coverage of the return of four Israeli hostage bodies earlier in the day. The Russian television network RT posted on social media that "Hamas carried four coffins, including those of small children, who were killed by war criminal Netanyahu." Another report by RT described Hamas gunmen at the transfer as "resistance fighters carrying weapons in Gaza."

Imagine that, a Russian President focusing on release of Russian hostages?
And they weren’t even trannies or black lesbians.
What the hell is wrong with him?
I found it particularly offensive that Putin didn’t also use his announcement to condemn racism, anti-semitism, homophobia or climate denial. This would have been a perfect opportunity.
He is really a scumbag.

Strangled by Hamas then crushed and mutilated to cover up the strangling.
Did President Trump thank Hamas?
Did Netanyahu thank Hamas?
Did you ever hear of behavior modification?
The Russia/Putin troll is wearing mighty thin, marcus.
Best start working on the new one.
I don’t know for sure but his country is actively engaged in a war against them, so probably not.
“We have performed a thorough investigation and determined that we are innocent.”
Guess he works for himself right? Still waiting f9r that apology.
President Trump just gave Bibi the go ahead to completely clean out Gaza, which is about to happen.
