The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, is rumored to be following the agenda of the G20 Summit which will be held in Bali, Indonesia. Suddenly this news shocked the world because it was known that Russia was still waging war with Ukraine.
Previously, several pro-Western groups had insisted on removing Russia from the G20 membership. However, Putin will attend the event which is being held in Bali.
“Depends on the situation. So far, [Putin] is willing to come,” said Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Lyudmila Vorobieva, Wednesday (23/3/2022).
Vorobieva explained that the G20 was not a meeting to discuss the crisis in Ukraine. The agenda is to improve the problems of the world economy. Therefore, Russia supports Indonesia’s presidency this time.
He added that removing Russia from the G20 had absolutely nothing to do with ending the war. This also does not necessarily solve the world’s economic problems.

According to him, Indonesia is professional in leading any international forum or activity so as the G20 Presidency in 2022, Indonesia is obliged to invite all its members.

Furthermore, the results of the G20 agenda are urgently needed by countries with economic difficulties. These countries need solutions from the G20 members.
