CNN: Putin is becoming more and more isolated in world

Three major summites of world leaders showed one thing: in the world arena, Russian President Vladimir Putin is pushed into the background, writes CNN, analyzing the events of the outgoing week.

So, the Russian president refused to attend any meetings in Asia and was undergoing strict condemnation for the war in Ukraine, whose discontent in the world, apparently, has grown, the television channel noted.

The past week showed that Putin is becoming more and more isolated, does not want to meet with the leaders of other countries on large summites.

CNN quotes the senior researcher of the Carnegie Foundation Alexander Gabuev, who believes that among the reasons for this is the fear of possible political maneuvers against Putin, if he leaves the Russian capital, the obsession with personal security and the desire to avoid confrontation scenes.

Even among countries that did not take a tough line in relation to Russia, according to some signs, patience ends, the American television channel notes, if not in relation to Russia itself, then the consequences that the war unleashed by Russia brings: problems with energy and food safety, growing inflation is strongly beat in the economy of countries around the world.
