Putin Hit With Humiliating Dressing Down on World Stage

Sergei Bobylyov / via REUTERS Vladimir Putin has been scolded by a fellow world leader in a televised meeting.

The 73-year-old was at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, on Monday, where he sat down for a sideline meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Every day of war sets humanity back, whereas every step taken towards peace fills humanity with new hope and enthusiasm,” the leader of the world’s most populous country said.

“We need to move from an endless war to the end of the war, to the cessation of hostilities,” he added.

“And this is precisely the direction we must move.

This is extremely important for all of humanity.

We must resolve problems through peaceful means.” He added that the “peaceful resolution to all issues at the earliest is the call of humanity, and this is India’s message.

The land of Gandhi and Buddha shares a single message: the path of peace.” Putin looked away as Modi spoke, The Daily Mail reported, before removing his translation earpiece and saying “Thank you very much, Mr.

Prime Minister.

We are moving in that direction.” Putin also praised 75-year-old Modi’s “personal attention to the development of Russian-Indian relations” and to the personal relationship between the two men.

It was the 25th year of the SCO summit, which brought together leaders from Russia, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and host Kyrgyzstan.

It is designed to counterbalance Western hegemony and, by land area, is the world’s largest regional organization, with its member states making up nearly a quarter of the world’s landmass and 42 percent of the global population.

But despite the two men’s words, the war in Ukraine appears to be doing anything but letting up.

Thousands of troops are believed to be being killed and wounded every week on the frontline, while in cities on either side, drones and missiles rain down, destroying oil refineries, e-commerce centers and homes.
