Russian President, Vladimir Putin, was left awkwardly standing in a room in front of reporters while waiting to meet his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on Tuesday. Footage taken ahead of the meeting shows Putin fidgeting, shuffling his feet and sucking his cheeks in front of cameras for nearly one minute before he is greeted by Erdoğan.
The trip to Iran is Putin's first trip outside Russia since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. During his visit to Tehran, Putin will also hold his first face-to-face meeting since the invasion with a Nato leader, Turkey’s Tayyip Erdogan, to discuss a deal that would resume Ukraine’s Black Sea grain exports as well as peace in Syria.
Russia-Ukraine war live: peace will be on Russia’s terms, says former president; Putin and Erdoğan to discuss grain deliveries.
