The pranksters claimed to have spoken to former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a longtime rival to Duda’s Law and Justice party who reacted angrily during the election campaign when Duda claimed that the LGBTQ “ideology” was worse than communism.
“I do not [discriminate against] they, really, “said Duda to the false Guterres.” I have great respect for all human beings, “he said, adding that Tusk” doesn’t love me. “
On Wednesday morning, Tusk wrote on Twitter: “I like you, Mr. President. Especially for your openness.”
The jokers are Alexei Stolyarov and Vladimir Kuznetsov, known as Lexus and Vovan. They have claimed several victims, including posing as then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, in a call with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan. They have also spoken to Elton John while pretending to be Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and said they had a phone conversation with Boris Johnson, at the time the UK’s foreign secretary, during which one of them pretended to be Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
In September 2019, Jean-Claude Juncker and Federica Mogherini, then President of the European Commission and Head of Foreign Policy, respectively, were allegedly victims of the couple, again posing as Pashinyan.
