“We have to think very carefully about whether we paralyze the entire G20, I’m not advocating it,” said von der Leyen on Sunday evening to the ZDF “heute journal”. Von der Leyen was also convinced that Putin “can no longer win this war.”
The next G20 summit will take place on the Indonesian island of Bali in mid-November. “In my opinion, the G20 is too important, also for the developing countries, the emerging countries, for us to let this body be destroyed again by Putin.” The interview took place on the sidelines of the G7 summit at Schloss Elmau in Bavaria.
The next summit of the 20 most important industrialized and emerging countries will take place on the Indonesian island of Bali in mid-November. The group also includes Russia, so Putin’s participation is possible. It is important to “tell Putin to his face what we think of him and what we think of this type of action,” said von der Leyen, referring to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. “One thing is very clear: there will be no “business as usual”, i.e. not normality.”
