Vladimir Putin to Attend 70th General Assembly of UN?

Russian president Vladimir Putin is planning to attend the 70th General Assembly annual session, according to Russian media reports. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Putin will attend the anniversary of the forum [UN] which was created in the aftermath of World War II.
