Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"Country that invaded another one and tries to destroy its people must be isolated. Country that blackmails the world with hunger, cold and weapons of mass destruction must be an [outcast]. Russian President's presence at G20 – flirting with aggressor and genocide legalization," he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier said that Ukraine would not participate in the G20 summit in Bali if the Russian president were present there.

On November 15-16, Indonesia is to host the G20 summit, where the Ukrainian president has also been invited. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is demanding that Russia be expelled from the G20 after Putin admitted the fact that he ordered missile strikes on Ukraine's infrastructure.
