CNN has done it again. Apparently the secret identity of ISIL killer 'Jihadi John' is Russian President Vladimir Putin.

CNN just can't seem to help themselves. In a report confirming the identity of 'Jihadi John' on Thursday, the news agency accidentally took down the picture of the ISIL-affiliated killer and replaced it with a portrait of Vladimir Putin.

With US State Department officials constantly saying that Russia is as bad as ISIL, perhaps it was only a matter of time before CNN would start mistake the Russian leader for Jihadi John.

The gaffe is just the latest in what seems like a never-ending and hilarious series of bloopers made by the international news agency about Russia and Ukraine, the last occuring just last week, when CNN accidentally annexed Ukraine to Russia:

Last summer, the agency had placed Slavyansk, a city in eastern Ukraine contested by Kiev and Donetsk rebels in Crimea about 500 kilometers southwest, in Crimea, which had broken off and joined Russia.

Earlier, commenting on referendums which had taken place in Donetsk and Luhansk regarding their status within Ukraine, CNN posted a graphic placing the referendum somewhere in Pakistan.

Eastern Europeans aren't the only ones to suffer from CNN's blunders over the years, which aren't confined to just geography, either:
