“Four FEMEN activists staged a topless protest against Putin in Brussels on Friday, shouting "Putin go to hell! Democracy, democracy”, AFP reports. The Russian president was in the Belgian capital to attend an EU-Russia summit.

In a statement on its website, FEMEN said it wanted to “drive from the capital of the European Union apocalyptic dwarf Putin and warn EU about the disastrous (sic!) for democracy from close contact with the Kremlin freaks”.

The group added: FEMEN calls on the leaders of the European Union to stop immediately political, economic and cultural contacts with Gazprom-Kremlin's dictatorship. FEMEN warns eurobosses that dependence of the gas pipe will bring Europe to the economic collapse, the abolition of visas for Russians threatens Europe with cultural Armageddon, and political appeasement before Putin threatened with the Customs Union.
