Far be it from me to praise Putin - Jorit - General News. Ciro Cirullo, a well-known young Italian street artist, said Friday his recent visit to Russia and exchange of words with President Vladimir Putin should not be read as praise for the leader.

He said it is necessary to burst the "propaganda bubble" that wants " us to be in conflict and always onseveral fronts" The artist's works include a mural of a child in tears under bombs in Mariupol, the Ukrainian Red Sea port.
