Miniatures of the statue will be sold to raise money for Ukrainian refugees.
A statue of Vladimir Putin - with a penis-shaped head - has been erected in Bell End
The effigy appeared on Thursday morning alongside a street sign in the centre of the Worcestershire village and eggs which could be thrown at the likeness of the Russian president.The organiser of the protest, who wished to remain anonymous, told the PA news agency: “I needed to award somebody with the Bellend of the Year award and I thought there was one person who has universally been a bellend this year – and that’s Vladimir Putin.“It’s been very well received.
“So I thought, ‘I really want to help out and I want to do my bit and I want to try and raise some money to help those individuals’.”The organiser said they want to stay anonymous to keep the “mystique” around the statue, with a further explanation about how it came to be in the village just outside Birmingham to be revealed in the coming days.
