HANOI — Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Hanoi this week, multiple officials said, highlighting Communist-ruled Vietnam’s loyalty to Russia and triggering a rebuke from the United States.
The visit follows Hanoi avoiding a Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland last weekend, while sending its deputy foreign minister to a Brics (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) meeting in Russia earlier last week.
