The media showed with whom the head of the Kremlin met.

Russia's attempt to break its international isolation has turned into a new embarrassment for the head of the Kremlin. President of South Sudan Salvatore Kiir Mayardit came to Putin for talks in Moscow yesterday.

Social networks instantly reminded that last year he wet himself right at the official ceremony, which was caught on live broadcast cameras.

The video of the meeting has provoked a lot of jokes on social media. Users note that after the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Federation has descended to the level of third world countries.

It is noteworthy that the President of South Sudan not only did not remove the extravagant cowboy black hat at the meeting with Putin, but also he was not looking at the head of the Kremlin.

During the public meeting between Salva Kiir and Putin, there was also an embarrassment with the earphone - Kiir could not figure out for a long time how it was supposed to be attached to his ear, TSN reported.

The head of the Kremlin started laughing and teaching the politician with gestures how to properly fix the headset. It did not help Kiir, an assistant's help was needed.

It is noteworthy that Putin was constantly stammering and shuffling his foot while talking to the head of South Sudan.

Russian blogger Anatoly Nesmiyan noted that the drop in the level of Russia's international contacts is stunning, as in less than 10 years Moscow has degraded from a member of the G8 to parochial talks with African leaders of the world's poorest countries. "All fine and dandy, but South Sudan is a country compared to which even Venezuela or Zimbabwe look like leaders of global growth and giants of technological development. The level of international contacts is certainly impressive. From chairing the G8 to meeting Salva Kiir, it's cool," he writes.
