Andrzej Duda, the Polish president, were the comedy duo’s most recent victim when they called his office shortly after the missile blast in Poland that was initially blamed on Russia.
Duda was under the impression that he was talking with French President Emmanuel Macron. It was the second time these two were able to reach the Polish president.

The call lasted for over seven minutes. Duda said he was not seeking war with Russia and said U.S. President Joe Biden did not believe it was a Russian missiles. He said Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky insisted that it was not fired by his forces.
The Western media tries to ignore these prank calls because they tend to offer a glimpse into what Western leaders really think about the Russian invasion. Poland has been talking tough, but Duda shows that Warsaw has no interest in fighting Russia.
Last month, the same pranksters got Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dimitry Kuleba on the phone and he admitted that Kyiv was behind attacks targeting the Belgorod region and Crimea.
In May, we noted that former President George W. Bush was pranked, believing he was talking to Zelensky. He said it was the Ukrainian leader’s job to destroy as many Russian troops as possible.
Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov, two Russian pranksters who have in the past denied working for the Kremlin, reports said.
Bush said he never wanted Russia to join NATO, but did want Ukraine to join the alliance during his presidency.
"I wanted Ukraine into NATO," Bush, said, according to the purported video. He said he wanted Russia on the fringe of the alliance. “I thought for a while Russia would be more cooperative. And then [Russian President Vladimir] Putin changed dramatically.”
Bush also appeared to confirm reports that then-Secretary of State James Baker, who served under his father, George H.W. Bush, promised Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand eastward following the deal made during the 1990 negotiations between the West and the Soviet Union over German unification.
“Zelensky” could be heard bringing up the topic and tries to play it down as the Russian “narrative.” “Zelensky” brushes off the claim and said it would be completely incorrect given the threat Russia poses on the world.
“Yeah that’s right, that’s right,” Bush said, according to the video. “Listen, times change. Baker, you know, was the Secretary of State for my dad, which was years ago. And so, The United states must be flexible, adjusting to the times.”
