Predictable public image laundering for Putin ("see? I'm a good boy! I don't want to starve half the world!") in sight of the G20 summit which will take place -surprise- in Indonesia next fall - what a coincidence.
Putin wants to get there as a world leader in search of new allies among those less aligned with the EU and NATO, and not as the war criminal he is.
