G20
foreign ministers head to a joint summit on Friday that will put some of the
staunchest critics of Russia invasion of Ukraine in the same room as Moscow's
top diplomat, in the first such meeting since the war started in February.
The buildup to the gathering on the Indonesian island of
Bali has been dominated by the war and its impact on the global economy, with
top officials from Europe, the United States and Australia stressing there will
be no "business as usual" at the forum, without saying what that
might entail.
Russia's invasion has cast a cloud over Indonesia's
presidency of the Group of 20 largest economies this year, with speculation of
boycotts from some members and a walkout in April at a finance ministers'
meeting in Washington.
Indonesia's Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi late on
Thursday said it was important for the host to "create an atmosphere
that's comfortable for everybody" and the G20 was an opportunity for
progress.
"This is the first time, since February 24, all
major players are sitting in the same room," she said, referring to when
the start of the Russian invasion.
A senior U.S. State Department official on Thursday said
it was important to prevent "disruptions or interruptions" to the G20
agenda, while ensuring nothing took place that could legitimize Russia's
"brutalizing" of Ukraine.
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Thursday
described Russia's actions as "illegal, unjust and immoral," a
position she would make clear at the forum.
Japan would also raise its concerns about the war, a
Japanese government official said, adding it was talking with like-minded
countries but no decision had been made about a walkout over Russia.
Russia's invasion, which it calls a "special
military operation," has caused major disruption to the global economy,
with a blockade on Ukrainian grain and sanctions on Russian oil and gas driving
a food crisis and a global spike in inflation.
Friday's agenda includes a closed meeting with top
diplomats of G20 countries including China, India, the United States, Brazil,
Britain, Canada, Japan, South Africa, as well as bilateral talks on the
sidelines. Ukraine's foreign minister is expected to address the meeting
virtually.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Bali on Thursday, during which he praised Beijing but lashed out at an "openly aggressive" West.
