Die Ukraine makes her Participation in the G-20 summit in Indonesia in November depending on the situation in the country and on war opponent Russia. “Our Participation depends on the Russian Federation whether it will be present there,” said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday, according to the Interfax-Ukraine agency in Kyiv. “I told the Indonesian President (Joko Widodo) that we are grateful for the invitation, but we have a security situation.” Russia had invaded Ukraine a good four months ago.
He has doubts that many countries will take part in the summit if Russian representatives go there, Zelenskyy said. If there were even more violence by Russian soldiers against Ukrainian civilians, such as the murder of residents in the Kiev suburb of Bucha, Russia would have to reckon with “complete isolation”.
At the planned G-20 summit in Bali, the topic of food safety is likely to play an important role alongside the Ukraine war. Russia is part of the G20 and has confirmed its intention to participate. It is still unclear whether President Vladimir Putin will be there or connected online. Widodo had also invited Selenskyj.
