“At a meeting with Putin, Theresa May broke protocol: she was supposed to be the first to shake hands with a man, but forgot about it,” he wrote.
However, later the politicians still shook hands, but not in front of the television cameras.
Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May, expressed hope that relations between the countries could be brought to a higher level both in the political sphere and in the economy.
“Everyone understands that you and your team face difficult tasks, but we all face difficult tasks. We wish you success and hope that we will be able to take our bilateral relations to a higher level. Here we definitely have something to do both in the political sphere and in the economic sphere,” Putin said.
