Putin Awkwardly Holds Hands With World Leader at Anti-West Summit

Russian President Vladimir Putin was spotted holding hands with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an awkward show of unity as they attended a Chinese summit of anti-Western coalition leaders dubbed the “axis of upheaval.”

Putin and Modi were keen to show off their closeness as they shared a ride to a meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in Tianjin.

They were together at the Shanghai Co-Operation Organization (SCO) summit, hosted by Xi as a means to showcase his vision of a new world order free from the dominance of the United States.
