G20 foreign ministers refused the traditional photo because Lavrov According to Reuters, the US State Department removed the general photo from the official agenda so that it would not become a "distraction". "Under no circumstances will there be a "family photo" with European partners and Mr. Lavrov. Because there are no normal relations with Russia," the agency quotes German Foreign Minister Johann Wedpole. According to the Associated Press, some European diplomats even threatened to leave the event due to the participation of Putin's sad donkey.
