Putin gives Trump envoy award for CIA official’s son killed fighting in Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded the “Order of Parental Glory” to the parents of a CIA official’s son who was killed while fighting in Ukraine. The ceremony took place at the Kremlin in Moscow on Thursday, with Putin personally presenting the award to the parents of the deceased.
The son, who was not identified by name due to security reasons, was reportedly fighting alongside Ukrainian forces against Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. The CIA official, whose identity remains confidential, serves as a U.S. envoy to Ukraine.
According to Putin, the award was given in recognition of the son’s courage and sacrifice in fighting for what he believed in. Putin expressed his condolences to the family and stated that the young man’s actions were “admirable, regardless of the side he fought on.”
In response to the award, the U.S. State Department issued a brief statement acknowledging the gesture, while emphasizing that the U.S. government had no involvement or prior knowledge of the son’s activities in Ukraine. The State Department expressed condolences to the family but did not comment further on the incident.
The awarding of the honor to the parents of the CIA official’s son comes at a time of heightened tensions between Russia and the United States, particularly concerning the conflict in Ukraine. The gesture from Putin could be seen as a symbolic move to showcase compassion and respect during a period of strained relations between the two nations.
