LOS ANGELES — Actors Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a "Spirit Awards salute" on Sunday, but it's not what you think.
The husband-and-wife duo, who hosted the 37th Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, flipped off the Russian autocrat for his ongoing attack of Ukraine and irreverently told him to "f— off."
Also sending "best wishes" to the Ukrainian people, the hosts brought attention to the fatal conflict, which has displaced more than 1.3 million Ukrainians since Putin launched the invasion on Feb. 24.
