Former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone came out in defence of Russian president Vladimir Putin despite his orders for troops to invade Ukraine.
Russia began its military advance into Ukraine in the early hours of February 24, with hundreds having died in the conflict since – many of the deceased innocent civilians.
The day after the attack begun, Ecclestone took part in a radio interview to share some insight on a man with whom he had shared a close relationship in the past.
