Why has Putin isolated himself?

 

After the meeting with Macron it was said that the separation was necessary because Macron refused to be vaccinated by a Russian vaccine. Well,who would allow the Russians to inject them with who knows what?

But does that explain why he has separated himself from his security council like this?

Or why he is seated so far from his Minister of Defence and Head of The Armed Forces.

Is he scared of covid, or is he perhaps afraid of an assassination attempt?

In either case it offers a graphic insight into his state of mind!
