Vladimir Putin stormed out of the G20 summit in Australia yesterday after being branded a liar by a fellow leader.
The Russian president was taken to task over his country’s support for rebels in Ukraine by Canada’s prime minister, Stephen Harper, when the pair met for the traditional summit photo.
‘I guess I’ll shake your hand, but I have only one thing to say to you: you need to get out of Ukraine,’ Mr Harper told Mr Putin, according to a source in the Canadian’s office. ‘I’m not in Ukraine,’ Mr Putin replied. To which Mr Harper countered: ‘That’s why I don’t want a meeting with you. You’ll just lie to me.’
Mr Putin flew home before the summit’s closing lunch.
