"Sanitary reasoning": Putin refused to stand next to the new Britain Ambassador (Video)

Journalists say that the Ceremony with the participation of British diplomats was reminiscent of the Covid-19 pandemics. During his speech, Putin mentioned the Tehran Conference and expressed his hope to improve relations with London. Russian President Vladimir Putin, given the "sanitary" reasoning, refused to stand next to the new British Ambassador Narel Casey and other diplomats closer than 70 feet (20 meters), during a diplomatic ceremony. About it writes The Daily Mail.

Putin, apparently, reached out by Britain with an olive branch (a symbol of peace) and called for "changes for the better" in the relationship between Moscow and London at the ceremony of adoption of diplomatic certificates in the Golden Alexander Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace. However, the actions were not entirely consistent with the words, since the Kremlin head stood at a decent distance from 21 diplomat, including the British Casey. And he didn't talk to them.

The ceremony was reminiscent of pandemics. In his speech, Putin mentioned the 80th anniversary of the Tehran Conference with the participation of three union states-the USSR, the United States and the United Kingdom-and their leaders: Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt and Winton Churchill. According to the President of the Russian Federation, the conference laid the foundations of a modern system of international relations.

He also noted that in the post -war period until recently, countries were able to build interaction based on the understanding of responsibility for maintaining a global peace. The current state of affairs in dialogue with London is well known, said Putin, and expressed his hope for improvement. It should be reminded that, according to the legend of the British army Mike Jackson, "Putin is not in power", but his successor may be an even more authoritarian leader.
