Russia's Lavrov walks out of G20 talks amid Ukraine criticism

"German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has criticized Moscow for blocking dialogue
with international partners after diplomats said her Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov walked out of her speech at the G20 gathering.
Speaking to German television, Baerbock said Lavrov "left the first session halfway through" and skipped a second session "which shows even more clearly that he's not interested in international cooperation or dialogue with the other G19 partners".
Lavrov later also ditched an afternoon session before a virtual appearance by Ukraine's foreign minister and was not present as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned Russia in the closed-door meeting in Bali, diplomats said." France24
