  • Putin met with the UN chief on Tuesday, the same day he met with the Kremlin table.

  • The white wooden table was used in other high-profile meetings.

  • According to media reports, Putin uses the table to distance himself from his guest.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the UN Secretary-General in Moscow on Tuesday.

The French President is one of a number of high-profile individuals at opposite ends of a 13-foot-long white wooden table.

The French leader said he was concerned that the Russians would use the test to steal his genes, so he was at one end of the table.

According to media reports, Putin is obsessed with his health. The long table may be used to limit his exposure to other people. It is possible that it is an attempt to show off his power in Russia to guests, according to the newspaper.

The New York Times reported in February that a company in Italy and another in Spain claimed to have made the table.

After repeated attempts from Guterres to push for a ceasefire have failed, Putin and the UN Secretary General met on Tuesday to discuss the war in Ukraine.

The Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Lavrov, met with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, on Tuesday to discuss the need for humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians from areas of heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine.

Russia has come under fire at the UN for its role in the war in Ukraine.

The UN General Assembly voted to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council after the discovery of mass civilian killings. Russia said it would quit the council.
