POLITICAL pariah Vladimir Putin was last night considering leaving the G20 summit early after receiving the cold shoulder from world leaders.
A spokesman for the Russian delegation said an earlier departure was unconfirmed, but it was “one of the options” following repeated criticism from western leaders.
“He has further obligations, he has tight schedule,” the spokesman said.
He could not confirm if Mr Putin would attend today’s lunch proceedings.
