Footage taken ahead of the meeting shows Putin fidgeting, shuffling his feet and sucking his cheeks in front of cameras for nearly one minute before he is greeted by Erdoğan. The trip to Iran is Putins’s first trip outside Russia since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. During his visit to Tehran, Putin will also hold his first face-to-face meeting since the invasion with a Nato leader, Turkey’s Tayyip Erdogan, to discuss a deal that would resume Ukraine’s Black Sea grain exports as well as peace in Syria
