Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed an impromptu piano performance he gave before meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping was ruined as the instrument was out of tune. <br /> <br />Putin, who was in Beijing for the One Belt, One Road conference, also admitted the embarrassing video was never meant to be released. <br /> <br />The footage, which saw him tentatively perform a few chords of two popular Soviet-era compositions, “Moscow Windows” and “Evening Song”, was later shared online.
