According to the information obtained from the meeting, Russia's warfare is condemned almost in unison.

The host of the meeting in Bali, Indonesia's Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, raised the issue in his first speech.

"It is our responsibility to end the war as soon as possible and resolve our differences at the negotiating table, not on the battlefield," she said.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov left the meeting both when German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock criticized the Russian invasion and ahead of Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba giving a digital speech.

Lavrov was also not present when US Secretary of State Blinken condemned Russia.

"Ukraine is not your country"

"Russia was so isolated that Lavrov left the conference at lunchtime, after speaking," said French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna.

EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell stated that Lavrov "did not listen to others" during the meeting.

"It is not the most constructive way to participate in a G20 meeting," Borrell said.

Antony Blinken demanded that Russia allow Ukraine to resume grain exports, in order to remedy shortcomings that are beginning to appear elsewhere in the world.

- To our Russian colleagues: Ukraine is not your country.

Its grain is not your grain.

Why are you blocking the ports?

You should release the grain, Blinken said.

Blinken did not want to meet Russia's Sergei Lavrov.

Lavrov, for his part, said he did not intend to hunt for the United States.

Sergei Lavrov described it as if the representatives of the West became completely devoid of criticism of Russia as soon as they were allowed to speak.

As he sees it, it is the fault of the western countries that no further peace talks are being held.

No group photo

Usually a group photo is taken with all meeting participants, but this did not happen this time.

The meeting is a first step towards the big G20 meeting to be held in Indonesia this autumn.

The original plan was that it would be about how the world should move forward economically after the worst consequences of the pandemic.

It came to be overshadowed by several things, besides the Ukraine war.

The British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss turned in the door and went home when it became clear that Prime Minister Boris Johnson would resign.

On Friday morning, the attack on Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe silenced the mood.
