The Russian side tried with all its might to erase the word “war” and replace it with the word “conflict”, but it failed to do so. As a result, the statement says that “the majority of G20 members condemn the war unleashed in Ukraine.”
The forum officially started on 15 October, Lavrov was in isolation He was one of the last to arrive at the so-called “Hall of Leaders” and took his seat without saying hello to anyone, while representatives of other countries communicated with each other, “Bild” writes.
Lavrov himself, when it was his turn to speak, accused Western countries of neo-colonialism and said that the US and the EU were putting on a show at the G20. One of the participants of the summit told “Bild” that the representatives of other countries listened to Lavrov with frozen faces, shaking their heads from time to time: no one showed signs of approval.
After the meeting, Lavrov quickly packed his things and left without saying goodbye to anyone. He was not noticed at the dinner, later the Russian Foreign Minister announced that he would leave Bali today and will not participate in the events planned for tomorrow.
