It's pretty much the same spectacle as he did with that other guy just before the invasion was launched. Just like everything with Putin it's mostly optics. A certain type sees this and thing: "Raaa! Leader stronk!" Meanwhile it's fairly hollow. That guy he's talking to doesn't really have much power at all, and nobody takes him seriously. Likewise the people who he's supposed to get cooperation from doesn't take him seriously. Putin would have to call personally to sort it out. That's the only way they'd jump. It is the weakness of such heavily consolidated power.

On a side note... I think Putin would cry if he was subjected to the type of opinions thrown around in a democratic parliament.

Entering into the international waters of the North Sea puts the vessel, named Admiral Gorshkov, closer to the UK, Norway and Belgium, as the vessel finds itself accompanied by the tanker Kama, The Mirror reported.

That tanker has/had its AIS on - be interesting to see if its heading here

Unstoppable until it springs a leak or a fire breaks out or the engines fail or it just sinks to the bottom of the ocean as a goodwill gesture.

Russian embassy says UK tank delivery will escalate conflict​

The Russian embassy in the United Kingdom has condemned London’s announcement that it will send 12 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine.
“Bringing tanks to the conflict zone, far from drawing the hostilities to a close, will only serve to intensify combat operations, generating more casualties, including among the civilian population”, the statement said.
It added the announcement “fully conforms to London’s objectives of prolonging the conflict”.

Ukraine refutes Moscow’s claims it captured Soledar​

The front-line city of Soledar, which Russia says it has captured, is still controlled by Ukrainian troops, local authorities say.
“Soledar is controlled by Ukrainian authorities. Our military controls it,” Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on national television.
“Battles continue in and outside of the city,” he said, adding that Soledar and nearby Bakhmut were the “hottest” spots on the front line.
Zelenskyy made similar statements in a video address late on Friday, saying battles in the salt-mining town were continuing.

No sign of large-scale withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Soledar: AJ correspondent​

Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford, reporting from the outskirts of the embattled cities of Bakhmut and Soledar, says there is no sign of a large-scale withdrawal of Ukrainian troops despite Russia claiming control of Soledar.
Fighting was most intense on the western outskirts of Soledar, Stratford said. Ukrainian soldiers said “Russian saboteurs” were moving in from the west of the city.
Stratford also reported from Bakhmut’s ravaged city centre, where blasts of exploding artillery and rockets are almost constant.
