G20 foreign ministers concluded two days of talks in Atlanta without consensus on several major security issues, as Russia’s participation deepened divisions over the war in Ukraine.
The United States cancelled the traditional “family photo” after European and other delegations objected to appearing alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said there could be no appearance of normal relations with Russia, while UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband directly accused Moscow of aggression and urged members to increase economic and diplomatic pressure over the war. Ukraine, which is not a G20 member but has attended similar gatherings, was not invited.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who hosted the meeting, called for cooperation in responding to interconnected geopolitical and economic crises. He cited threats to energy and food supplies, trade and freedom of navigation. The wars in Ukraine and Iran, rising energy prices and tensions over global trade complicated efforts to find common ground.
On the sidelines, Lavrov told Deutsche Welle that Russian President Vladimir Putin would meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy if Zelenskyy travelled to Moscow, but he did not say whether Putin would attend the G20 leaders’ summit in December. That summit is scheduled to be hosted by President Donald Trump at his Doral resort in Miami.
