A large banner with a photograph of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the word “peacemaker” was hung from Manhattan Bridge on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It showed the Russian leader in front of his country’s flag when it was unfurled on the New York landmark which connects Manhattan to Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Photos of the mysterious banner quickly began trending on social media.<\/p>\n

Police officers removed it a short time later, and are investigating. There have been no arrests.<\/p>\n

Tensions between the Washington and Moscow have remained high in recent months.<\/p>\n

Russia has been accused of meddling in the US presidential election<\/a>, after the Democratic Party suffered a wave of cyber attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A ceasefire deal in Syria brokered by both countries collapsed last month, and the US halted talks with Russia<\/a> on trying to co-ordinate air strikes against jihadists earlier this week.<\/p>\n
