A two-day meeting of foreign ministers of the "Group of 20" will start today on the Indonesian island of Bali . At this event, for the first time during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov, will cross paths with colleagues who criticize Russia for the war it unleashed.

Lavrov has already arrived in Bali and, according to a release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is planning a series of meetings. However, some of the ministers said that they are not going to meet with him.

It will be recalled that the "group of twenty" consists of both those countries that accused Moscow of war crimes and those that react to the war against Ukrainians more restrained (in particular, China, India, South Africa).
