Putin Merkel joke

Putin's G20 Summit was "given a cold shoulder": hotels with bad accommodation were bombarded by the West.

Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been a little lonely. At the G-20 Summit in Brisbane, Australia, Western countries severely criticized him for the Ukrainian issue, and Russian media said that Putin was "obviously given a cold shoulder". He left Australia before the final communique was issued at the meeting.

"Containment" and "Shell" of Western Countries

Putin was "blocked" and "bombarded" at this G 20 summit. British Prime Minister David Cameron held 50 minutes of serious negotiations with Putin on Ukraine, saying that Russia is at a "crossroads". Cameron expressed his distrust of Putin, criticizing the latter for empty talk, but failed to deliver on his promise with practical actions.

Australian Prime Minister Abbott had previously said that he would "embrace" Putin. However, he released malicious words but did not act. In addition, Canadian Prime Minister Harper said to Putin: "I may shake your hand, but I only tell you one thing-leave Ukraine."

When staying in a hotel, the "family photo" will stand aside.

Russian newspaper Izvestia reported that Putin was treated unfairly in Australia and the hotel he stayed in was terrible. He also arranged Putin to the far left when taking a group photo. The newspaper commented on the front page that the president "behaved calmly."

Leave early to avoid responding to accusations.

After western countries criticized the Ukrainian crisis many times, Putin left Brisbane, Australia by plane before the end of the June 16 meeting, saying that he left early to catch up on sleep.

Russia's Kommersant reported that Putin's early exit was to "avoid direct conflict with key forces, which tried to use the opportunity of G20 to isolate Russia".

Merkel's harsh words were replaced by tenderness.

Compared with European heads of state, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has a relatively mild attitude towards Russia. However, on 17, Merkel also publicly released malicious words and severely criticized Russia for undermining peace in Europe. Merkel's previous negotiations with Putin at the G 20 summit ended in discord, and the confrontation between the EU and Russia may further escalate.
