The USA will take advantage absence of Russia and China at the G20 summit/AFP, AP, Channel 24 Collage The upcoming summit in India may tip the scales in the geopolitical situation, including in economic relations with Russia. Also, the importance of the summit is increased by the presence of the African Union, for influence on whose participating countries a real struggle is unfolding. The head of the analytical and advocacy organization “Center for Joint Actions” Oleg Rybachuk told Channel 24 about this. In his opinion, the United States will only benefit from the absence of the heads of “anti-Western” countries at the summit.
Why Putin and Xi will not come to the G20 summit< /h2>
There is no big secret that the Russian dictator is afraid to leave the borders of his country, fearing another coup.
However, there is another reason why Putin did not want to go to India: since 2014, many Western politicians have refused to shake hands with him and talk in an informal setting. Therefore, the Russian dictator does not feel like he belongs among world leaders.
The absence of Xi Jinping is more significant. China and India have a very complicated history: territorial disputes between them have still not been resolved, and clashes occur on the border from time to time.
Relations between India and China are, to put it mildly, not good neighborly. Indian politicians perceive China as a threat, and China watches India's development with jealousy, Rybachuk explained.
India recently overtook China in population. Now it is striving to overtake China in terms of economic size. Unlike China, which faced economic problems after the flood, the Indian economy is developing confidently.
In this context, Xi Jinping is not very comfortable coming to India immediately after the BRICS summit, the decision of which observers consider a Chinese victory. The head of Beijing, like Putin, sent his prime minister to the meeting.

How the United States will take advantage of the absence of its rivals
It is worth noting that since the 20th century, India has been striving to be a non-aligned country, taking neither the side of the West nor the side of the USSR. Now India is trying to continue this policy in order to compete with China.
Equally important, Delhi has invited the African Union to the G20 summit andJoseph Biden wants to take advantage of the absence of Putin and Xi Jinping to in order to strengthen its influence on Africa.
Right now the American President is meeting with the Prime Minister of India. And American diplomacy is working to tear India away from Russia. Among the topics discussed by the leaders of the countries will bejoint production of aircraft engines. This is important, because until recently India armed its army mainly with Russian equipment.
