Members of the delegation accompanying Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Pyongyang were expelled from the negotiation room. The fact that the Russian officials entered the hall before the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, angered the protocol service of the DPRK. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, deputy prime ministers, defense and health ministers and the head of Roscosmos were forced to leave the hall after the unexpected situation, which was broadcast live on North Korean state media and Russian channels.
