Putin to skip G20 Summit in Delhi, put together for ‘particular navy operation’

By Express News Service

NEW DELHI: Russian President Vladimir Putin is not going to be travelling to Delhi to attend the G-20 summit, the Kremlin has confirmed.

“President Putin is not planning a trip to the G20 Summit in India. His main emphasis is now a special military operation,” mentioned President Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

As of now, the G20 Summit can be completely an in-person occasion, and no hybrid facility is open for individuals who don’t attend in particular person. Unless there may be an exception offered for President Putin to attend the Summit just about (if it occurs that can be a last-minute announcement), Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, who will attend the Summit on Putin’s behalf can be part of the conferences — like he did was over the last Summit in Bali.

At current a number of nation leaders — US, Australia, Italy, Canada and South Korea — have confirmed their in-person participation. While PM Albanese was the primary to verify his participation, President Biden’s affirmation got here simply two days again.

Since India is just not a signatory of the International Criminal Court (ICC), President Putin wouldn’t have been arrested on his arrival. So, that’s not the rationale for him deciding once more visiting Delhi. However, after the temporary Wagner coup and the current loss of life of Wagner’s chief Yevgeny Prigozhin in an air crash, there’s a lot Putin must deal with on the house turf.

“The speculation on President Putin being behind the ill-fated air crash is baseless. These are all total lies,” Peskov mentioned including that Putin had mentioned all obligatory evaluations can be performed together with DNA checks of passengers on board.

Meanwhile, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau throughout a phone dialog with Ukrainian President, Voldomyr Zelenskyy mentioned that he was disenchanted that Zelenskyy was excluded from the checklist of invitations for the G20 Summit in Delhi.

Russia, within the meantime, may have a busy 12 months forward because it has simply taken over the chairship of the BRICS group and can host the subsequent Summit in Kazan subsequent 12 months. With six extra international locations that can grow to be full-time members in January 2024, there’s a lot that Russia would do to make the sixteenth BRICS Summit successful, a supply added.
