‘I’ll be a good little kitten’: People are leaving thirst comments under Vladimir Putin Instagram pages to ‘stop war’

People are leaving thirst comments on Instagram accounts dedicated to Vladimir Putin, jokingly seducing the Russian president and asking him not to start a war. 

A TikTok, posted by @earthlyfolk, rounding up flirty messages on one account has gone viral, racking up nearly 2 million views. The Instagram pages appear to be fan accounts, as they are not verified accounts. Putin also once expressed disinterest in the app.

Mounting tensions on the Ukrainian border have captured the world’s attention. On Sunday morning, Bloomberg reported that U.S. Senators have almost completed a sanctions bill against Putin and the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. asked Russia to “come to the diplomatic table.” 

Meanwhile, Instagram commenters are posting “i will be a good little kitten please don’t start a war” and “Putin please, I don’t have a gag reflex.” Some users are calling him “Vladdy Daddy” and others are saying “your selfie on your story is so cyute!”

The trend echoes back to other times the internet has made light of global tensions.

“The yassification of war,” said @occmslpstk.
