Australia PM flags Concerns Over Putin’s Plans to Attend G20 Summit

On Thursday, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison expressed his concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin's plans to attend the next G20 summit in Indonesia this year.

The prime minister of Australia, Scott Morrison has said, “The idea of sitting around a table with Vladimir Putin, who the United States of America is already in the position to call out for war crimes in Ukraine, for me is a step too far.”

The ambassador of Russia to Indonesia has announced on Wednesday that the Russian president Vladimir Putin intends to attend the G20 summit, by dismissing suggestions by some of the G20 members that Russia could be barred from the group.

The president of Russia, Vladimir Putin is planning to attend the G20 summit in Indonesia later this year. Where the Australian prime minister has expressed concerns over Putin attending the summit, the Russian president has got the backing of China to attend the G20 summit in Indonesia.
