A waxwork of Vladimir Putin was unceremoniously removed from the Grvin Museum in Paris following Russias invasion of Ukraine.

A statue of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may take its place alongside U.S. President Joe Biden , Britains Queen Elizabeth II and Chinas Xi Jinping in the display of world leaders, museum officials told Agence France-Presse.

Current events mean we dont want him here and the staff dont want to walk past him every day, museum director Yves Delhommeau said.
