At the G20 summit, which is taking place in India, journalists from all over the world are actively taking pictures with the Russian flag, brought to the event by a reporter from Russia. Ekaterina Nadolskaya, a journalist from RIA Novosti, reported that many come up to her, express gratitude for the delivered flag and are even a little jealous, since they themselves have forgotten their national symbols.
The reporter said she was amazed at how much love and respect the people of India, including local media workers, show for Russia and its President Vladimir Putin. She emphasized that Russian journalists were greeted warmly and friendly in the country.
And the Russian flag attracts such attention at the summit that there are even queues of people wanting to take pictures.
Indian journalist Mausami Singh conducted an interview with Ekaterina for India Today TV channel. She also took a photo with the Russian flag as a souvenir.
