The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has been out
of public view for more than a week, is to meet on Monday with the
president of Kyrgyzstan, AP reports.
Putin earlier this week postponed a planned summit with the leaders of
Kazakhstan and Belarus, drawing attention to his unusual long hiatus
of public appearances and raising speculation that he was ill.
His spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told The Associated Press on Thursday
that Putin’s “health is really perfect.”
The planned meeting on Monday in St. Petersburg with Almazbek Atambaev
is to discuss Kyrgyzstan’s joining the Eurasian Economic Union, a
nascent Moscow-led trade bloc that also includes Belarus, Kazakhstan
and Armenia, the Kremlin said in a Friday statement.
