Video of President Putin ‘ignoring’ King Charles doesn’t tell the whole story

A video of Vladimir Putin appears to show the Russian president ignoring King Charles at an event.

Mr Putin supposedly added that this is because they have been “shamelessly attempting to seize power in a globalist coup d’etat”.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko will be attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit that India will be hosting virtually next week.
