Russian President Vladimir Putin is on a diplomatic roll at home and abroad, defying efforts by the U.S. and its allies to cast him as an international pariah over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In just two months since he began his fifth presidential term in May, Putin has held more than 20 meetings with leaders from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
Putin has also made six foreign visits, even as his scope for travel has been limited since the International Criminal Court last year issued an arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.
