Vladimir Putin angered Ukrainians when he took part in a biker festival in the capital of Crimea over the weekend. The Russian president, wearing an all-leather outfit, rode into town on a massive motorcycle to be the guest of honor at the event sponsored by the right-wing Night Wolves motorcycle group, whose members were vocal supporters of Russiaâs 2014 annexation of Crimea. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry called the visit a âblatant violation of Ukraineâs sovereigntyâ and called state-run Russian media âpatheticâ for treating the trip as a routine outing.
