Putin to Skip G-20 Indonesia Summit, Facing Cold Shoulder
- Kremlin to send Foreign Minister Lavrov in Putin’s place
- Tensions over Ukraine invasion to dominate meetings in Bali

Vladimir Putin won’t attend the Group of 20 summit next week, people familiar with the planning said, as the Kremlin seeks to protect the president from potential high-level tensions over his invasion of Ukraine.
Ending months of suspense, Putin’s decision avoids potential confrontations with other world leaders, including US president Joe Biden who has labeled the Russian president a “war criminal.”
The Kremlin also risked Putin being shunned by European leaders at the Nov. 15-16 summit on the Indonesian island of Bali.
Russia will send Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov instead of Putin, one of the people said. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss matters that are not yet public. Spokesmen for the Foreign Ministry and the Kremlin did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Biden said in March that Russia should be expelled from the G20 in retaliation for the invasion that triggered Europe's biggest conflict since World War II and raised fears of nuclear escalation. Indonesian President Joko Widodo refused to withdraw the invitation to Putin because his country, which holds the rotating presidency of the G20, sought to maintain a neutral position. Instead, Widodo also invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the summit.
China's concerns
Zelenskiy spoke to Widodo by phone on Nov. 3 about preparations for the G20 and later told reporters he would not participate in the summit if Putin attends. Widodo told Bloomberg in August that Putin had confirmed to him he would participate, though the Kremlin never said publicly whether the Russian leader would travel to Bali or participate remotely.Russian officials had hoped the summit would allow Putin informal contact with his U.S. and European counterparts, but it became clear that this was not going to happen, according to Andrei Kortunov, head of Russia's Kremlin-founded Council on International Affairs. "The goal is for Putin and Biden to meet, but Biden doesn't seem ready for this," he said.
The US president has said he would not meet Putin in Bali to discuss the war in Ukraine and was only willing to hold talks on releasing US citizens imprisoned in Russia, including the WNBA star. Brittney Griner as part of a possible prisoner exchange. Even so, it would have been impossible to rule out a chance encounter if the two leaders crossed paths at the summit.
Chinese President Xi Jinping told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Nov. 4 talks that heopposedthe use of nuclear force in Europe, in his most direct remarks yet on the need to prevent Russia's war in Ukraine from escalating. Xi's comments sent a clear message to Putin that nuclear threats are a red line for China, even as they have declared afriendship "without limits."
Putin faced intense criticism from Western leaders at the G20 summit in Australia in 2014, which took place shortly after Russia annexed Crimea and fomented separatist violence in eastern Ukraine. He left the meeting early.
After a series of military withdrawals against a Ukrainian counteroffensive, Russia has received international condemnation in recent weeks for targeting Ukraine's civilian energy, water and heating infrastructure with massive drone and missile strikes. Putin formally annexed four Ukrainian regions in September that his forces do not fully occupy, days after announcing a mobilization of 300,000 reservists that triggered an exodus abroad of Russians fleeing conscription.
