Question from a reader:
Why did Putin meet with Akie Abe but not with Zelensky? Is there something inconvenient that makes him not want to meet?
Putin’s Meeting with Akie Abe and the Situation with Zelensky
Recently, the news of Putin meeting with Akie Abe has been a hot topic. Hearing this made me ponder why he hasn’t met with Zelensky.
When discussing this with friends, various opinions emerged, making the conversation quite interesting.
Insights from Conversations with Friends
One of my friends mentioned that there might not be any reason for Putin to meet with Zelensky, which certainly makes sense. Ukraine is currently in a difficult situation due to the war, making travel challenging. Even if Putin were to meet Zelensky from a diplomatic standpoint, it might not hold much significance. Conversely, the meeting with Akie Abe could have been a part of Putin’s propaganda strategy. While discussing this, a friend jokingly suggested, “Maybe Putin wanted to use Akie to show that Russia isn’t isolated,” and it made me chuckle. Indeed, that meeting felt somewhat “staged.” By meeting with her, it’s possible that he aimed to create some impact within Japan.
Personal Reflections and Experiences
Still, it feels quite strange to think that Akie Abe met with Putin. I remember a time when I participated in a special event with friends, and I felt like we were being “used” by the organizers. For instance, during a comedy event, we were forced into a “photo opportunity” to stand out, and I felt a bit perplexed at that moment. However, such experiences can turn into great stories later on, making life quite fascinating. The meeting between Putin and Akie Abe may also be one of those fleeting moments whose significance we can’t fully grasp yet.
