Russian state media showed a mass KFC delivery to the Moscow hotel where China's delegation is staying.
Xi Jinping is in Moscow for a high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, likely focused on Ukraine.
The order was odd since KFC pulled out of Russia last year and stores are supposed to have rebranded.

Russian state media on Monday showed bags of KFC takeout being delivered to the luxury Moscow hotel where China's delegation is staying for President Xi Jinping's state visit.
