The UK’s prime minister, Rishi Sunak, has vowed to “call out” Russia at the G20 for the “suffering” it is inflicting on Ukrainians and millions of the world’s poorest people, PA media reports.
Speaking on the plane to India, the prime minister criticised Russian president Vladimir Putin for refusing to attend the G20 summit in India – the second year in a row the Russian leader has missed the world leaders’ gathering.
When it comes to Lavrov, the message is, the fact that Putin is not there demonstrates his isolation in the global community. He wasn’t there last year, he is not there this year to answer for what he is doing. He doesn’t want to be held accountable.
