In a shocking turn of events, the notorious Wagner warlord Prigozhin has resurfaced to explain why he replaced Putin with a giant inflatable duck. According to Prigozhin, the decision was not an act of rebellion, but rather a strategic move to confuse Russia's enemies.
"Putin was becoming too predictable," said Prigozhin. "Everyone knew what he was going to do next. But with the giant inflatable duck, no one knows what to expect. It's a brilliant tactic."
When asked about the practicality of having a giant inflatable duck as the leader of Russia, Prigozhin was quick to defend his decision. "The duck is a symbol of freedom and peace. Plus, it's much cheaper than maintaining a human leader. We can just deflate it and store it away when we don't need it."
Critics have been quick to point out the absurdity of the situation, but Prigozhin remains unfazed. "People said the same thing about me when I started the Wagner Group," he said. "But look at us now, we're a force to be reckoned with. The duck will be no different."
As for Putin's whereabouts, Prigozhin refused to comment. "He's taking a well-deserved break," he said with a sly grin. "Maybe he's off somewhere enjoying a ride on a giant inflatable swan."
Only time will tell if Prigozhin's latest move will pay off or if it will be the downfall of Russia. But one thing is for sure, the world will be watching with bated breath as the giant inflatable duck takes the reins of power.
