Video: A pickup truck equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun was spotted in Putin's motorcade in Vladivostok
In Vladivostok, Vladimir Putin’s motorcade is being escorted by a pickup truck mounted with an anti-aircraft machine gun. A number of streets in the city were also closed off while the Russian dictator was traveling through the city.
Significant traffic jams have formed in Vladivostok due to the traffic restrictions. Military vehicles have been spotted on the roads, ensuring the safe passage of the Russian president’s motorcade.
Putin arrived in Vladivostok to participate in the Eastern Economic Forum. The event is taking place from September 2 to 5.
The heightened security measures in the city come amid Russia’s war against Ukraine and regular drone attacks on Russian territory.
As a reminder, Putin claimed two fictitious victories for Russia.
Putin also threatened Ukraine with new strikes on its energy infrastructure.
During the summit in Bishkek, the Russian delegation, led by dictator Vladimir Putin, held a meeting with the Chinese delegation, where the Kremlin leader tried to paint a rosy picture of a shared future for Russia and China to Xi Jinping. But the whole thing turned out to be rather pathetic.
