Mr S understands that the attendee numbers were down in light of recent developments near the Black Sea. Officially there has been ‘unexpected changes’ to the visitor’s schedule, with one source suggesting this was in light of a ‘visa issue’. After the PM stuck it to Putin at the G20 in November, Mr S is sure this is all just coincidence.
