Russian President Vladimir Putin entertained US representatives by telling a joke during talks at the Kremlin.

TodayPress TV reports that Putin shared an anecdote about a corruption scandal involving cottages near Kyiv.

During the conversation, he recalled the story of a fraudster who, when asked by NABU (Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau) about the source of the money, replied: “The money came out of the bedside cabinet”.

The joke is reportedly linked to former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
