Putin is chairing his emergency economic meeting to respond to US, UK, and EU sanctions. He calls the west “the empire of lies”

The table is extremely long but the economic team are all crunched together as far away from Putin as possible

Look, it's one thing when Macron is sitting opposite you, but there are seven people at the other end of this table. How does he know which one is speaking? If they snicker and pass notes, can he see them?

Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, and Maxim Oreshkin, Putin's economic advisor, look like they are thinking hard about what to do with the western sanctions.

Spot which one of these people is having fun
