It has been a tumultuous weekend at the G20 Summit for Vladimir Putin, as the Russian President’s presence sparked hostility from political leaders and protesters alike.
Putin’s trip was marred by a series of diplomatic snubs and frostiness from Western leaders, sparking an early exit for the Russian leader who flew out on Sunday afternoon, cutting his intended stay short.
He also departed Australia shortly before President Barack Obama and European leaders opened their talks on Ukraine, where Russia is backing separatist rebels in the east of the country after annexing Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula in March. (Video)
