He proceeds to brush his dog and feed it treats as he greets the officials standing still presumably, so as to not aggravate the dog which can be heard barking repeatedly throughout the clip.
While the eye-brow-raising clip is awkward and a tad uncomfortable to watch, according to CNN, the two Asians were Japanese journalists which he granted an interview ahead of his official trip to Japan to meet with President Shinzo Abe back in 2016.

According to reports this was after Japan gifted the dog to Putin four years prior as a thank you for Russia's help after the massive earthquake and tsunami that crippled Japan in 2011.
Mzansi online users, however, were not having it! Many shared that the clip was not only awkward but shared that it was inappropriate for Putin to intimidate the two men the way he did.

The image in question displays Putin and two other people seated in an aeroplane as they look at a map of Africa. Putin's index finger seems to be right where Durban is situated while the man next to him points his pen around the same area.
While the picture may be a very good photoshop, the hilarious comments shared by South Africans regarding Durban are sure to bring a smile to your face.
