The former president says in a video clip that he wants to see Ukraine join the NATO military alliance.

Former President George W. Bush has apparently fallen victim to two notorious Russian pranksters. Above, Bush speaks during the funeral service of the late Rep. John Lewis at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia on July 30, 2020."Your mission is to destroy as many Russian troops as you can," Bush adds.

It's unclear who Bush is speaking to in each of these snippets, but at one point, the former president appears to say the phrase"Glory to Vovan and Lexus" in Russian. He later says"I'm very proud of you"—though it is again unclear to whom he's speaking. The video ends with the pranksters on camera. The full video of their conversation with Bush will reportedly be released on Thursday as part of the New Horizons educational marathon, according to. The event is taking place this week in Russian cities including Moscow and St. Petersburg. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered remarks at the event on Tuesday.

Kuznetsov and Stolyarov have a long reputation as pranksters. In 2016, they reportedly convinced Ukrainian prisoner Nadezhda Savchenko to give up her hunger strike. Phone calls and a fake letter apparently convinced Savchenko's lawyer, Mark Feygin, that then Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko had personally requested that Savchenko end the strike.
