Woman’s voice seems to shout ‘It’s all for show!’ in Kremlin video of Putin chatting with purported Mariupol residents

In a video that appears to show Vladimir Putin meeting with local residents during his visit to the annexed city of Mariupol on Sunday, a woman’s voice can be heard shouting something that sounds like, “It’s not real! It’s all for show!”

The shout was left in the version of the video published by the Kremlin’s press service and the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels subsequently called attention to it.

It’s difficult to discern for certain what the woman shouted, but after her cry, the people accompanying Putin can be seen looking over their shoulders and gesturing to one another.

According to the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin visited Mariupol late at night on March 18–19. The president’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists that the trip was “spontaneous.”
