Biden also claimed that Russia failed in its attempt to divide Western countries and that, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the military alliance is “closer than ever”.

The US president also spoke in favor of Russia’s exclusion from the G20although he noted that this decision would depend on the group of members of that coordination body between industrialized and emerging powers.
“Today we talked about that. And I raised the possibility that if it can’t be done (expel Russia from the G20), if Indonesia (host country of the next summit) and others don’t agree, (…) we should allow Ukraine to attend the meetings as well“, he added.
The Kremlin confirmed the Putin’s intention to attend the G20 summit in Indonesia at the end of the year and, for now, the host country maintains its invitation to the leader, despite the war in Ukraine.
