Harry Potter author JK Rowling has defended herself after Vladimir Putin attempted to compare himself to the Edinburgh author.
Rowling took to social media on Friday to hit back at his claims, after an astonishing rant claiming the West was cancelling Russia.
The Mirror reports that the top-selling author lashed out in response this afternoon, saying: "Critiques of Western cancel culture are possibly not best made by those currently slaughtering civilians for the crime of resistance, or who jail and poison their critics. #IStandWithUkraine."
