the real slipping of something

[svetlana14]

Please have a look at the text below

"The Russians have accounted for about a billion pounds worth of residential property in London. We have now woken up. Dirty money is being seen for what it is, which is a poison to democracy. It's taken the real slipping of Putin's mask, an act of aggression so appalling. The UK appears to have completely lost its moral compass. " What does the phrase "the real slipping of Putin's mask" mean? Thank you.

It means that the mask of normality/responsibility/respectability has slipped, showing his true face of aggression. His mask has "really slipped".

svetlana, you've been a member long enough to know that we need the source and author of any text you quote.

You're lucky to have received a reply without giving us that information.
