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.

newtboyDidn’t make him wait nearly long enough.
It would have been great if he got tired, sat down, then Erdoğan entered making him stand back up.
Russian grain shipments should halt until all Russian aggression and expansion is halted and reversed. I believe the grain they’re discussing is the Ukrainian grain blatantly stolen by Russia. No NATO or UN. Nation should even consider paying Russia for it or allowing them to transport it.
I just don’t understand, why even discuss it?
siftbotMoving this video to BSR's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
newtboyI had this wrong. In my defense, there had been excessively little coverage of this plan on American TV or media.
Astonishingly, this was the UN, through Turkey as an intermediary, negotiating between Russia and Ukraine to allow safe passage of Ukrainian grain ships out of Ukrainian ports for sale on the world market, and more astonishingly, it’s been successful. Russia has agreed to allow and guarantee safe passage to, and Ukraine guarantees safe passage through minefields for cargo ships going in and out of these ports held by Ukraine.
