I even heard he was going to leave early because everyone was having a go about it with him. But it was also 40 degrees and appallingly hot and I wouldn't want to be there either. But I heard this through the MSM and I have no idea if it is really the case.
On the other hand I did see one of the TV programmes do a Putin (impersonator) walk amongst the people in the streets surrounded by 'security' media and all. In all the footage I saw Putin had a great reception. People wanted selfies and shop owners gave him freebies and all the comments were all very supportive and polite. No mad or angry people asking about M17 or the Ukraine war. Just surprise and support. Later in the G20 when the real Putin was here the media was perplexed at how Putin was receiving the loudest cheers and applause from the people.
He just left....a real snub...that will have very bad consequences in World tensions, IMO. They should have used the occasion to discuss any disagreements and find solutions - but that is not what the meeting is about, is it! - its a club to agree on creating problems......
