As you can see in the recording, only the meal was already served in front of the Russian president, while the other participants of the meeting still had napkins on their plates. It was also noticed that there were no drinks on the table, not even water. They were placed on tables against the wall, outside the main meeting place.
Vladimir Putin celebrated his birthday in the Kremlin. The plate caught my attention
According to one of the theories presented by Internet users, such an arrangement may result from the hierarchy in force in Russia – as the head of state, Vladimir Putin was the first to receive food. There have also been suggestions that the president's meal may have been prepared and served separately due to his well-known fear of being poisoned.
There was also speculation on the Polish Internet about Putin's unusual meeting with the military. Particular attention was paid to the official nature and lack of freedom in the guests' behavior. “It's food for show. More like a country party at a dacha than a meeting in the Kremlin.” “No wonder, cameras. But when the cameras disappeared, the fun was different too,” they wrote on the X platform.
Russian media, including the ria.ru website, reported that Vladimir Putin spent his birthday performing official duties. The President participated in the meetings of the Security Council of the Russian Federation and also held telephone conversations with the leaders of other countries.
