One of Vladimir Putin's closest allies, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, arrived in Alaska ahead of the summit between the Kremlin's leader and US President Donald Trump. As he left his car, the right-hand man of the Russian leader was spotted wearing a white jumper with the word 'CCCP', the Cyrillic for USSR, emblazoned on his chest.
The outfit choice was likely well studied and pointed, and sends a major message to Mr Trump and world leaders. Journalist Jon Sopel wrote on X: "Bloody hell. Lavrov arrives in Alaska with a T-shirt with CCCP, the Cyrillic letters for the USSR. In other words, when the Baltic states and Ukraine and the Central Asian republics were under Moscow's control. If this is a statement of intent, it's quite something."
