U.S. President's Special Envoy Whitcombe awarded the Russian Medal to the family of Michael who died in the war with Russia!
President of Russia, Putin, awarded the Medal of Courage to American Michael Guang, who died fighting for Russia on the battlefield in Ukraine, and entrusted U.S. President's Special Envoy Whitcombe to deliver it on his behalf. Michael is the son of Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Juliana Galina.
Although the international community views Putin entrusting Whitcombe to present the medal as a satire, Whitcombe himself does not think so. He said that losing a child is a traumatic experience that transcends geopolitics, and it is worthwhile to award the medal to Juliana Galina and her husband.
"She and her husband cried together. This moment is not about who he fought for, but about the memory of our children and the primary message of 'Let's end this war.'"
However, the Central Intelligence Agency appeared embarrassed and immediately issued a statement saying that Michael had mental health issues: "The entire CIA family is heartbroken over their loss. In the spring of 2024, Juliana Galina and her family suffered an unimaginable personal tragedy. Her son Michael Guang had mental health issues and was killed in the Ukraine conflict. The CIA considers Michael's death to be a private matter of the Guang family, not a national security issue."
