The Russian president seemed to be on a charm offensive on Friday as he met with his German counterpart. Vladimir Putin greeted Angela Merkel on the porch of his Sochi residence with a big bouquet of flowers.

Footage of the encounter shows the Russian leader greeting the German delegation on top of the stairs leading to the entrance of the residence. He shook Angela Merkel’s hand before presenting her with a big arrangement of white and pink flowers before inviting her in.


No dogs were seen around Merkel on this occasion. Putin once made a gaffe by introducing one of his pets to Merkel – apparently unaware that she was uncomfortable around canines.

Putin did reintroduce her to Dmitry Medvedev, though, who kept his job as prime minister and has just finished his cabinet reshuffle. The three did engage in some small talk by the door, with Merkel speaking in Russian to her hosts.

The Russian president has a reputation for gentlemanly gestures towards people he meets. In 2014, he put a shawl around the shoulders of China’s First Lady Peng Liyuan during an APEC summit in Beijing.

Earlier this month, he dodged a potential PR disaster after his guards pushed aside a veteran as he tried to approach Putin, who was walking together with the leaders of Serbia and Israel to lay flowers at a World War II monument in Moscow. Putin noticed the situation and shooed away the guards, inviting the retired general to join the group.

Washington has warned that proceeding with the Russian-led gas pipeline project, aimed at bringing natural gas to Germany's northeastern Baltic coast, could result in sanctions for those involved.
The US opposes the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and may introduce penalties on the project due to its potential to increase Russia's “malign influence” in Europe, according to Sandra Oudkirk, US deputy assistant secretary of state for energy diplomacy.

“We would be delighted if the project did not take place,” the senior diplomat told reporters in Berlin, stressing that the project could be sanctioned under a bill passed by Congress in August 2017.

The legislation, allowing the US government to take steps against Russian energy projects, was passed in response to Russia’s alleged involvement in the Ukraine crisis, as well as the Kremlin’s alleged meddling the US presidential elections.

“Any pipeline project – and there are many multiple pipeline projects in the world that are potentially covered by this sanctions authority – is in an elevated position of sanctions risk,” Oudkirk said.

The official added that Washington also has security concerns connected to the project, as it provides Moscow with an opportunity to install undersea surveillance equipment in the Baltic Sea, which is seen as a sensitive military region. Moreover, the White House is concerned that Ukraine will be bypassed as a transit point for Russia’s gas, and thus deprived of transit fees.

Russian President Vladimir Putin reassured German Chancellor Angela Merkel, during talks on Friday, that the launch of Nord Stream-2 does not mean Russia will halt gas transit through Ukraine. Putin said Moscow is ready for talks with Kiev about a new transit deal.

Last week, Merkel said that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline could be impractical if it threatened to leave Ukraine vulnerable to reduced gas transit revenue. The chancellor pledged to provide reassurance to Kiev, with some form of guarantee agreement expected to be issued.

“We don’t believe guarantees are enforceable,” Oudkirk said, stressing that Moscow had clear intentions to use Nord Stream 2 to bypass Ukraine.

The official rejected allegations that Washington opposed the pipeline amid its own interests in the European energy market. “We’re neutral on the means of conveyance,” Oudkirk said, noting that Europe could get gas from the Caspian Sea, Eastern Mediterranean, Algeria and, eventually, the US and Australia, reducing its dependence on Russian energy sources.

The warning came as a consortium of European companies, led by Russia’s Gazprom, announced the start of preparatory works for constructing the pipeline. Nord Stream 2 is set to go through the territorial waters of Finland, Sweden and Denmark. Countries involved have approved the project.

Crimea was part of russia and was given to ukraine after WWII by nikita khruschev. It rightly should be returned. EU sanctions should be uplifted.

Donald Trump showed Angela Merkel his bedroom on her most recent visit to Washington, the US ambassador to Germany has claimed.

In one of the more bizarre attempts to defend Mr Trump’s personal relations with the German chancellor, Richard Grenell said the president had given her a “very personal” tour of his private living quarters.
