Vladimir Putin returns to the forefront of the international scene. The Russian president participated by videoconference on Wednesday, November 22, at the G20 summit.
No handshake between leaders and a perfect opportunity for Vladimir Putin to make his return to the world political scene. Subject to an international arrest warrant, his travel abroad is restricted. Thanks to this G20 organized by videoconference by India, it is an opportunity for the master of the Kremlin to offer himself an international platform, a platform to regain control on the diplomatic level and strengthen his links with the countries of Asia, Middle East and Africa.
A boon for the Russian president
Calling for a complete ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Vladimir Putin also wants to take advantage of the diversion of attention international to make people forget their pariah status. The war in the Middle East has taken a back seat the war in Ukraine. An international audience which also allows him to blame Ukraine for the failure of negotiations to end the conflict. For its part, the European Union is trying to reassure Ukraine.
