The phone call itself did not outwardly mock Sir Elton, though towards the end did invite the popstar to Gay Pride in Moscow which has been banned in the country for years. It is illegal to promote Homosexuality in Russia.

Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the pranksters should apologise to Sir Elton.

It comes after Sir Elton posted an Instagram post about speaking to President Putin on the phone earlier in the week.
