Vladimir Putin says Russia's borders 'do not end anywhere'

The comment comes amid rising tensions between Russia and Nato

Tom Embury-Dennis @tomemburyd Friday 25 November 2016

Vladimir Putin has said Russia’s borders “do not end anywhere” during a live televised awards ceremony for students in Moscow.

On stage, the Russian president asked a nine-year-old boy: “Where does Russia’s border end?” The child answered “at the Bering Strait with the United States”.

Mr Putin then gave his own answer, adding "it was a joke” to applause and laughter from the audience.

The phrase “Russia’s borders” became a top trend on Twitter within minutes.
