European top diplomat Kaja Kallas spoke out against the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the G20 summit in December in Florida, stating this in an interview with Bloomberg Television. According to her, the potential participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the G20 leaders' summit in Florida in December at the invitation of the United States could lead to the legalization of Russia's return to international forums. At the same time, Kallas opposed the normalization of relations with Russia. "The US invitation to this summit raises many serious questions," she said. On October 30, at a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in the United States, a joint photo of the ministers was canceled due to the reluctance of European diplomats to be in the same frame as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said he refused to be photographed with Lavrov because Russia is not part of the Western "family." On October 31, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that US President Donald Trump considers Russia's participation in G20 discussions to be important.
