Vladimir Putin's visit to Kazakhstan turned embarrassing when a giant electronic billboard flipped from showing the Russian flag to the Ukrainian flag, leading to a criminal investigation. Meanwhile, Putin appeared anxious for his security during his arrival, greeted by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
This is the humiliating moment Vladimir Putin 's motorcade is driven past a giant Ukraine flag on his visit to Kazakhstan . The situation left Putin embarrassed as officials launched a criminal probe into the incident. The electronic billboard , which was supposed to show the Russian flag, flipped to display the Ukrainian flag instead. A criminal investigation was initiated, with all possible causes, including technical malfunctions and potential external interference, being considered.
However, the deputy director of the billboard operators, Keruen Media, claimed the LED lights suffered from a short circuit error, not a hack. Meanwhile, Putin was seen looking around for his security during his arrival in Astana, greeted by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
