Former Australian Prime Minister: Putin Is The Most Contemptible Leader Alive

Tony Abbott has said that the Russian dictator is “to die.”

The 28th Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott called Vladimir Putin, the illegitimate president of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation, “the most contemptible leader” in history. Abbott said this on June 14 in Odesa during his speech at the Black Sea Security Forum 2024, initiated by Oleksiy Honcharenko, the Eurosolidarity people's deputy and President of the PACE Committee on Migration and Refugees. The Australian politician is quoted by the Forum’s X.

“One of the reasons Ukraine is doing incredibly well when it comes to global public support is because this is a case of a big country bullying a small country. This is why I think Vladimir Putin is the most contemptible leader alive to die,” Abbot stated.

Abbot also added that Ukraine “is an incredibly heroic, interesting and important place as it is a frontline of freedom” (a quote from the Forum’s X).
