Since Monday, a statue depicting Russian President Vladimir Putin as a goblin tightening a gas valve has temporarily been standing on Interbrigády Square in Prague 6. The place where the monument to the controversial Soviet marshal Ivan Koněv used to stand will be there for 30 days and will then be auctioned. The auctioned money will go to purchase weapons for Ukraine, which has been facing a Russian invasion since February. The author of the statue, blacksmith and sculptor Dušan Dostál, said it.
