Comments and answers to the media questions of the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, following the meeting of the G20 foreign ministers (Atlanta, October 30, 2026) Sergey Lavrov: We support the firm commitment of the US presidency to depoliticize discussions and focus on the issues originally agreed upon as the agenda of this year's meeting is, of course, part of the preparations for the Miami summit, which will be held in December. The main topics were the impact of geopolitics on economic processes (an important topic), energy, food and supply chains - in other words, everything affected by illegal sanctions and Western policies. To the credit of our American hosts, they do not shy away from discussing these matters and listen attentively. I do not know to what extent this will be reflected in the final agreed documents, but the approach is correct: depoliticizing discussions and focusing on real problems. Another point that the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, particularly emphasized when discussing the preparations for the Miami summit is that twenty countries, the European Union and the African Union are represented here. However, given the influence of my members on the world economy and their combined economic weight, the decisions we make will affect almost every country. We must always remember this. Let me repeat that we welcome this firm commitment to dialogue. Work on the outcome documents for the Miami Summits has already begun, in fact. There will be many difficult issues, as interests are at stake in all these areas, including energy and food security. The impact of the conflicts must be discussed, including the war waged against us by the West through the Ukrainian regime. *** Additional key points: Under the pragmatic US presidency of We believe there is a chance to reach agreements that will be implemented.
