Putin presents Alaskan resident with Ural motorcycle

Russian President Vladimir Putin has presented Alaskan resident Mark Warren with a new Ural motorcycle, Rossiya 1 TV channel reported.
“This is a personal gift from the Russian president,” said Andrei Ledenev, an employee of the Russian Embassy in the United States.

It is reported that a few days before the meeting of the Russian and American leaders, Warren told reporters in one of the TV channel’s stories that it had become more difficult for him to find spare parts for his old Ural due to anti-Russian sanctions.

After the broadcast, Russian diplomats found the American and presented him with a new vehicle.

“This motorcycle rides much smoother, much more pleasant. I like my old one, but this one is clearly much better,” Warren said.
