At the G20 ministerial meeting scheduled for October 30-31, 2026, in Atlanta, USA, the Russian delegation will be led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Germany's Position at the Meeting
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul will emphasize the need to end Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine during the meeting. He plans to highlight the global consequences of this war, which could become a significant aspect of the discussions.
Expected Discussions
Lavrov, as Russia's representative, will “be forced to join” the discussion regarding the aggression. This could lead to tense discussions, as the positions of Germany and Russia on this issue are opposing. It is expected that the meeting will address:
- The impact of the war on international security
- The economic consequences of the conflict for G20 countries
- Possible pathways to conflict resolution
