Russia attends G20 meeting set to be dominated by Ukraine conflict

JAKARTA, 08 July 2022, (TON): Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was on the Indonesian island of Bali preparing for a G20 gathering that will be his first face-to-face meeting with the fiercest critics of his country’s invasion of Ukraine.

The G20 foreign ministers’ meeting runs until Friday in host country Indonesia, which has this year grappled with the tough balancing act of running a global summit buffeted by geopolitical pressures and a global food crisis blamed on the Ukraine war.

There was tight security as foreign diplomats descended on the tropical island for a meeting where the Russia-Ukraine conflict will be front and center.

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said “her country and like-minded nations would use the G20 meeting to highlight the impact of the war.”
