Luchkina, 24, could be seen taking a drag of the vape herself before handing it to the orangutan through a wired fence.
The primate put its mouth to the vape and then backed away before exhaling a cloud of vapour.
She then continued to give the orangutan puffs from the vape in the video.
The incident occurred while the Russian visited the Taigan Park Zoo in Crimea.

He said: 'The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!' They are the first senior England football team to win a major tournament on foreign soil and the first to retain a trophy after victory in 2022. It was striker Chloe Kelly who sealed the win — repeating her feat from Wembley three years ago when she took off her jersey in celebration. She brought it home this time by scoring the crucial penalty, sparking scenes of joy in Basel, Switzerland. READ MORE ON EUROS VICTORY KEEP UP Lionesses hero Hampton reveals England fan convo before Kelly penalty Manager Sarina Wiegman — winning her third consecutive Euros after victory in 2017 with the Netherlands — ran on to the pitch punching the air as she joined the mass of players and staff mobbing Kelly. The Arsenal ace was in tears as she joined thousands of delighted fans singing Sweet Caroline. Moments later, Kelly said: 'I am so proud of this team. So grateful to wear this badge. So proud to be English. I was cool, I was composed. 'I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. Unbelievable. All the staff and Sarina Wiegman — she has done it again! Unbelievable. 'It is going to be crazy. I hope the whole of England comes out to support us and shows their love to these girls as they deserve it.' Supersub Michelle Agyemang, the breakout star of the tournament, sank to her knees and wept as Kelly's penalty went in. Chloe Kelly completes Lionesses' greatest comeback yet to retain Euros title In the stands, Prince William and daughter Princess Charlotte roared with delight at the victory. Just before kick-off, a snap of the pair was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales's X account with the caption: 'Let's go, Lionesses.' Jubilant Wills later greeted them, giving skipper Leah Williamson a hug, before they were presented the Euro 2025 trophy on the pitch. King Charles told the Lionesses: 'You have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration. The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027, if you possibly can!' The team will be at a Downing Street reception today hosted by Deputy PM Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. Ms Rayner said: 'Our Lionesses are absolute champions. Not only are they bringing it home for England again, but they're inspiring the next generation of champions too.' PM Keir Starmer added: 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation. "Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country.' 10 Dad Wills and Princess Charlotte look delighted as England win the shoot-out Credit: Getty 10 Penalty hero Chloe Kelly lifts the Euros 2025 trophy Credit: EPA 10 Hannah celebrates with the trophy after the Lionesses triumph Credit: Richard Sellers/Sportsphoto/APL Former England striker and footie pundit Gary Lineker wrote online: 'They've done it again. She's done it again. Kelly's heroes. Fabulous.' Dutchwoman Wiegman said after the win: 'I can't believe it! We said we can win by any means and that's what we have shown again today. 'I am so proud of the team and the staff. It is incredible.' Spain were favourites on the back of an impressive run of ten straight victories in all competitions, scoring 38 goals in the process. But England, despite a shaky start to the tournament, were confident after seeing off Sweden in the quarters and Italy in the semi-final. A crowd of 34,203 watched as England enjoyed a bright start, with the first chance after three minutes. But as the match wore on, Spain began to dominate and England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was forced into several crucial saves. Mariona Caldentey put Spain ahead on 25 minutes, with Alessia Russo heading England level on 57 minutes. Then, with neither side making a breakthrough in extra time, the match went to a penalty shootout. Hero Hampton saved twice before Kelly's trademark hop, skip and run penalty went in to secure the victory. 10 Hampton embraces manager Sarina Wiegman, who won her third consecutive Euros Credit: PA 10 The jubilant squad mob Kelly after her winning kick Credit: AP 10 Prince William congratulates starlet Michelle Agyemang Credit: Reuters

It's been ugly at times but the beauty about our Lionesses is this isn't the end — they are never done
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCREAMS fill the air, tears flow and beer rains down to ecstatic chants of 'It's coming home' — and I couldn't be more proud. Our wonder women have done it again. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Our wonder women are Euros champions for the second time in a row Credit: Reuters 3 Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton made heroic shootout saves Credit: AFP 3 Chloe Kelly fires England to victory in tense shootout Credit: EPA Euros champions for the second time in a row after defeating Spain and putting to bed our World Cup heartache from 2023. Football is called 'the beautiful game' — but this tournament has, at times, been anything but that for our brave Lionesses. Even the most die-hard fans will, at some point, have thought: 'We're surely done now . . .' But we have kept bouncing back. Whether it was a last-minute equaliser, an extra-time winner or heart-stopping penalty shootout. It's been a campaign of resilience, ugly at times, and we've had to fight. The Lionesses were the tournament's most passionate team and were rightly rewarded. Now they enter the history books as England's most successful football team and the nation will never forget the euphoria they have gifted us. There are moments I'll never forget — such as the Sweden shootout when Lucy Bronze fired a simply sublime penalty into the roof of the net in the 13th of 14 kicks. It made me think: 'They will always find a way.' Now they have brought football home yet again and the beauty is, this isn't the end. Now we want to complete the set with the 2027 World Cup. That's the wonderful thing about our Lionesses, they are never done.
