[REGNUM] Western leaders need to cut back on alcohol to keep fit. This was announced on June 29 by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a press conference following the results of the VI Caspian Summit.
“I don’t know how they wanted to undress, to the waist, below the waist. I think it would be a disgusting sight anyway,” Putin said.
Except for the Finnish prime minister
“Well, if you recall the words of Pushkin, he said the words, in my opinion: you can be a sensible person and think about the beauty of underwear. Therefore, I completely agree with this. Everything in a person should be harmonious: both the soul and the body. But in order for everything to be harmonious, you need to give up alcohol abuse, other bad habits, go in for physical culture, sports. Colleagues - I know them all personally. We are not in the best period of relations, this is understandable. But nevertheless, they are leaders, they have character. And if they want, they will achieve the desired success. But you need to work on yourself,” he continued.

As they sat down for talks in the German Alps, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson quipped that G7 leaders could take their clothes off to “show that we’re tougher than Putin” and “show them our pecs.”
His Canadian counterpart, Justin Trudeau, joked that they could try to match Putin’s infamous 2009 naked torso pictures with a “bare-chested horseback riding display.”
