‼ The G20 summit is at risk of splitting due to disagreements between Russia and Ukraine -. Reuters Participants at the G20 meeting in Atlanta on October 30-31 may not agree on final statements due to differences of opinion on the Ukrainian conflict, the situation in the Middle East and the Trump administration's policy towards Moscow, Reuters reports. Additional tensions arose following the US decision not to invite the South African foreign minister, while Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov will attend the meeting. Some European officials even offer two group photos - one with Lavrov and one without him. The former chief economist of the US State Department Heidi Karbo-Roedicker believes that the divisions within the G20 have reached an unprecedented level. According to her, Washington's rapprochement with Moscow, possible deals and easing of sanctions complicate the negotiations. Karbo-Rediker stated that Trump's position on Russia and Ukraine will remain the main source of controversy, even if the summit participants will not openly discuss this issue. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the European Union, Kaja Kalas, intends to ask for extended support in Kiev and to hold Russia accountable through a special court and a claims committee.
