For third time in row, Putin becomes loser of year according to Politico

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wins the "Loser of the Year" nomination for the third time in a row according to Politico.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Politicо.
"Does anyone remember Russian President Vladimir Putin’s promise to conquer Ukraine in a three-day special operation? Well, that continued to go poorly in 2024 as Ukraine not only held back Russia’s assaults but also seized a chunk of Russian territory during the Kursk offensive," the publication reminds, noting that the Russian economy is also facing overheating due to high inflation and a constant shortage of labour.
