The foreign ministers meeting of the “G20” was held on Friday, October 30 (Aban 8), in Atlanta, the state of Georgia, in the United States, in a tense atmosphere.

Kaya Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, accused Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, of bringing up “many lies” during negotiations about the war in Ukraine and of showing no signs during these negotiations that Moscow was prepared for a peace talk.

At the same time, the foreign ministers of European countries refused to take a joint photo with Lavrov; a decision that, according to Johann Wadenfool, Germany’s foreign minister, served as a reminder that “there is no normal relationship with Russia.”

Kaya Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, accused Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, of lying at the foreign ministers meeting of the G20 in the United States about the war in Ukraine.

Kallas told the French news agency on Friday: «Of course, he raised a lot of lies and put forward many false narratives that we were later able to refute.»
