Before fleeing the Summit early to get some rest, Vladimir Putin said the Summit had been constructive. Perhaps he did not want to hear what the closing Communique would contain ?
From reports there were some home truths which were addressed to Putin by David Cameron and other Leaders in private conversations over Russia's activities in Ukraine. Putin as always denies sending any troops or armaments to Russian Rebels in Eastern Ukraine, but he never explains how the Rebels have managed to obtained them ! Furthermore there are continuous Russian military exercices close on the frontier with Ukraine ! Why ? Is Russia so small that these exercices cannot possibly be held anywhere else ?
Putin is facing many problems at present, not least the collapse of the Russian Rouble on the money markets ! To save his reputation in Russia as President, he is "Saber Rattling" and making alliances with China. Russians would ask questions if any new Sanctions cancelled the next FIFA World Cup and if Russian Sportsmen were barred from competing outside Russia !
