On the eve of the G20 Leaders' Summit, a message from the Russian Ambassador to Indonesia claimed that Putin will not attend the G2O Leaders' Summit, but may attend the meeting online. This time, Russia's representative will be led by Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov to attend the meeting.
Whether Putin will attend the G20 in person is a hot topic in the international community recently. Now that the topic has come to an end, Putin is clear that he will not attend in person. But it is worth noting that Ukrainian President Zelensky claimed a few days ago that he would participate in this G20 Leaders' Summit.
is also because of this. When the news came out, many people on the Internet thought Putin was cowardly and dared not go. To be honest, this kind of concept is biased in my opinion, because from a diplomatic perspective, it is reasonable for Putin not to attend, and from a security perspective, it is more reasonable for Putin not to attend.
First of all, from a diplomatic perspective, there are 7 G7 members in the G20 Leaders' Summit, plus South Korea, Australia, and the EU. The United States has 9 helpers. If Putin wants to attend the meeting in person and the United States leads these countries to attack Putin in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, then the scene will naturally be embarrassing.
Why do you say so? Because the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has always been a sensitive topic in international politics, other countries cannot blatantly even if they are willing to support Russia, such as Russia's good friend India. In this case, if the West wants to attack Russia with the Russian-Ukrainian issue, Putin can be said to be unable to defeat four hands with two fists. Therefore, Putin's failure to attend the meeting in person is undoubtedly a reasonable choice.
Secondly, from a security perspective, any kind of horrifying incident may occur at a time when Russia and the United States are intensifying their struggles against the United States and the West. After all, the previous explosion of the "Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline" was a "shocking incident" that no one had expected.
So with the lessons learned from the past, Russia will naturally worry about Putin's personal safety, especially when heading to overseas environments where enemies are everywhere. Therefore, from a security perspective, Putin's failure to attend the meeting in person is a more reasonable choice.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no highlight in the G20 Leaders' Summit. The most obvious highlight just now is that Ukrainian President Zelensky announced his attendance. You should know that Ukraine's economic strength is not ranked among the top 50 in the world, and it is not a member of the G20 at all. It is now attending the conference publicly. I think anyone with a discerning eye knows what the problem is.
Then since Zelensky has arrived at the G20 venue, the Russian-Ukrainian issue is definitely one of the topics he must talk about. It is very likely that he will have an impromptu performance to win the sympathy of G20 members. This is also his specialty! But the question is, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was also on the scene. According to the Russian temper, could he tolerate Zelensky's presumptuousness? So it can be expected that Russia and Ukraine will have to make trouble at the G20 venue this time!
In addition, the dialogue between China and the United States is also a major highlight. At the increasingly tense battle between China and the United States, if the US wants to control the conflict within a reasonable range, it must communicate with China. Then the US President has determined to attend the G20 in person. Will my country's top leader attend and meet with Biden? Can the relationship between China and the United States usher in a long-lost heating up? Everything is in this crucial G20 summit! (Run)
