After two "absenteeism": the Kremlin "does not exclude" Putin's involvement in the G20 summit
On March 13, answering journalists' questions, Peskov said Putin's visit to the Grand Twenty Summit in India was not excluded. "This cannot be excluded. Russia continues to participate in the work of the Twenty. And it intends to continue to do so. But no decision has been made yet," Peskov said.
Earlier, on March 10, Bloomberg sources reported that the Kremlin is now corrected by Vladimir Putin's schedule in connection with the future G20 Summit in September this year to allow the President of the Russian Federation to participate in the meeting of the leaders after missing the previous two. It is also known that the G20 foreign ministers were held in New Delhi on March 1-2, 2023. The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov participated in Russia.
Speaking in Delhi, Lavrov stated that "Russia seeks to end the war", which provoked a wave of laughter throughout the hall. Earlier, in January 2023, it became known that the lists of participants of the G20 summit appeared in India President Vladimir Putin. The host country did not comment on the participation of the Russian President in the Summit in New Delhi.
Focus also wrote about the main events of the Greater Twenty summit, which took place on November 15-16, 2022 on Bali's Paradise Island in Indonesia. At that time, Russian President Vladimir Putin was absent at the G20 summit in November 2022, but was the focus of the world leaders, an important topic for which the issue of military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine was to discuss.
