According to sources, Lavrov left the meeting room immediately after his speech.
It is also noted that he ignored questions from German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock, who spoke at the summit immediately after him. the minister planned to announce “non-acceptance of the violation of international law” in the context of Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
When participating in the summit, Sergei Lavrov also accused the United States of disrupting the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
You know, it's not we who cut off any contact. It was the United States. That's all I can say. And we do not run after anyone, offering meetings. If they don't want to talk, it's their choice,” the minister said.
They announced a boycott on the Lavrovskaya and asked an important question
While entering the red carpet, the Russian Foreign Minister received a “warm” reception from journalists. In particular, ZDF correspondent Andreas Kinast asked: “When will you end the war?” However, after that, Kinast was taken out of the building by Indonesian security forces.
The second German journalist also asked Sergei Lavrov why Russia did not stop the war. The Russian minister ignored both questions.
In addition, the Russian Foreign Minister was boycotted during the G20. The Foreign Ministers of the G7 countries did not come to dinner with their colleagues. Moreover, they also failed to take a joint photo, and all because a number of diplomats simply refused to take a photo with Lavrov.
