The President of the European Commission addressed Putin at the G20 leaders’ summit

She first addressed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and noted that the world continues to experience many crises and has witnessed an escalation of destruction and war, as well as a blatant denial of the existing global order and architecture of peace.

Then she turned to Putin, accusing him of trying to destroy the sovereign state of Ukraine, as well as trying to cause regional instability.

“If Russia stops fighting, the war is over,” said Ursula von der Leyen.

What Putin said at the G20 summit

Earlier it was reported that, speaking via video link at the G20 summit, the head of the Kremlin could not avoid the topic of the war in Ukraine, which was unleashed by the Russian Federation. He cynically stated that we should “think about how to stop this tragedy.”

“Military actions are always a tragedy for specific people, specific families, and the country as a whole. Of course, we must think about how to stop this tragedy. By the way, Russia has never refused peace negotiations with Ukraine,” Putin gave another dose of absurdity .
