Europeans bristle at Russia's return to G20 - Reuters

European leaders expressed strong opposition to Russia's return to the G20 during a US-hosted meeting. While Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov held a productive discussion with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, he was pointedly excluded from the official event photograph. This gesture highlighted the ongoing tension and the desire of European nations to shun Russian financial representation despite the diplomatic framework of the G20, reflecting a deep divide over Russia's current international standing.
