Xi Jinping and Putin arrived in Astana
The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and the leader of China, Xi Jinping, arrived in Kazakhstan.
These days, the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization will be held in the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana.
The summit will also be attended by the heads of Turkey, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and the Vice President of Iran.
There were also reports of the possible participation of UN Secretary-General António Guterres in the events.
An amusing moment occurred during the meeting between Xi Jinping and Putin.
The leader of China was personally greeted by the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, at the foot of the airplane.
After the meeting, they continued to entertain the high-ranking guest, even launching planes with flowers of the Chinese flag.
And Putin was met by a simple prime minister, although they arrived at different times, and Tokayev could have allocated time for the Russian dictator.
It is reported that not even a show program was provided for Putin.
Interestingly, this nuance was overlooked by the Russian central media and propaganda channels.
Today it became known that NATO members have agreed to finance military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 40 billion euros next year.
