During the G20 summit, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who headed the Russian delegation, was ignored by almost all representatives of the participating countries

Bloomberg reports this. 

According to the publication, Lavrov met with only one diplomat at the summit — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. This was their tenth contact since the beginning of 2022.

During the meeting, Wang Yi noted that China “will continue to uphold a fair and objective position and play a constructive role” in promoting peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

The fact that almost no one wanted to negotiate with Lavrov, according to journalists, indicates Russia's de facto complete isolation amid its military aggression in Ukraine.

The G20 summit was held in Indonesia on November 15-16. Lavrov did not stay on the second day, but flew home immediately after his speech on Tuesday.
