Following the clash on Friday between the US and Ukrainian presidents, an "image issue" arises for Russian president Vladimir Putin in the eyes of his supporters, says political analyst Abbas Gallyamov. Gallyamov says that by "resisiting Trump's attempts to get Ukrainian rare earth minerals", Ukraine's President Zelensky "creates a precedent of real male patriotic behavior". Meanwhile, in the eyes of his supporters, Gallyamov says there may be the opinion that Putin is "selling out" his homeland in granting US proposals (such as on the minerals). IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
