As Russia was forced to retreat in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin was opening a giant Ferris wheel in Moscow — but it broke down and people had to be refunded.
Over the weekend, Ukrainian troops launched a lightning counteroffensive in the northeastern region of Kharkiv, recapturing thousands of square miles of territory that had been occupied by Russian troops for months.
The move stunned Russian state-media and prompted questions about Putin’s next steps in his ongoing invasion.
But the offensive did not appear to faze Putin, who on Saturday spoke via video link at the opening ceremony of the Moscow Sun, a new giant Ferris wheel built in the heart of the capital, Russian state media outlet TASS reported.
