Lavrov on Poland's invitation to the G20: a breach of diplomatic rules

Siergiej Ławrow criticized Poland's invitation to the G20 meeting, stating it undermines diplomatic consensus practices. He claimed Poland's economy is insufficient for participation and that NATO and EU representatives are already adequately represented. Ławrow noted that the U.S. invited Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski without pressure on Russia. Sikorski emphasized Poland's ongoing efforts to secure future invitations from upcoming G20 presidencies and reiterated his message to Ławrow about ending the ongoing conflict. He also declined to take a photo with Ławrow, aligning with the hosts' decision.
