Merkel in Russia, this is how Putin expects her (Photo)

Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to be in a good condition Friday, while awaiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

As foreign media write, he greeted Angela Merkel on the porch of his residence in Sochi with a large bouquet of flowers.

Photo from the meeting shows the Russian leader in greeting the German delegation at the top of the stairs leading to the entrance.

He shakes Angela Merkel's hand before giving her a bunch of white and pink flowers before inviting her in.
