Russia in isolation following G20 Summit

French President Emmanuel Macron believes the final statement of the Group of Twenty leaders was not a diplomatic victory for Moscow.

That’s according to Reuters, Ukrinform reports.

Macron believes that the joint declaration shows Russia remained isolated after the summit.

According to him, the topic of the event was the resolution of international economic issues, and it is not necessarily the place where you can expect "diplomatic progress" regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
