Vladimir Putin will not attend G20 summit in Bali, Kremlin confirms

The Telegraph  

Vladimir Putin, the Russian President,who has been shunned by the West over his offensive in Ukraine, will not travel to Indonesia for the G20 Leaders’ Summit next week, officials said on Thursday. “A decision has been made that Sergei Lavrov will represent Russia at the G20 summit,” Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman, told reporters. A trip to the summit in Bali would have put Putin in the same room as Joe Biden for the first time since the Russian leader sent troops to Ukraine on February 24. In 2014, Putin cut short his attendance at the Group of 20 summit in Brisbane where he received a chilly reception and faced intense pressure from the West over Moscow’s support for insurgents in Ukraine.
