Putin Closer to Jokowi Than Macron at the Kremlin? This is the reason

Jakarta

PDIP politician Budiman Sudjatmiko compare President’s meeting Vladimir Putin and Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) with the meeting of Putin and the President of France Emmanuel Macron. Putin and Jokowi look closer while Putin and Macron look quite far apart. Turns out this is why!

The comparison of Putin-Jokowi with Putin-Macron has become the talk of netizens on Twitter social media to this day, Saturday (2/6/2022).

Indonesia is the country of Bung Karno, who has been Russia’s best friend for a long time. While Macron comes from the country of Napoleon who once invaded Russia. The impact extends to the meeting distance at the Kremlin: Putin-Jokowi are close and Putin-Macron far away.

“It’s different when receiving the French President at a long table with chairs far apart, when meeting with Mr. @jokowi, Vlad Putin received him in a chair close to each other,” he wrote.

Why is Macron so far away? This is why!

Putin met Jokowi at the Kremlin, Moscow, on June 30 yesterday. The COVID-19 pandemic has calmed down quite a bit. They don’t wear masks.

But the situation was different when Putin met Macron at the Kremlin, Moscow, on February 7. At that time, the Corona virus was raging all over the world, the Delta variant being the culprit of the international buzz.
