Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Lyudmila Vorobiev: President Putin intends to participate in G20 Summit

President Vladimir Putin plans to attend the G20 Summit later this year in Indonesia, Moscow's envoy said on Wednesday, dismissing suggestions Russia could be excluded from the group over the war in Ukraine.

Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Lyudmila Vorobieva said that G20 host Jakarta had invited Putin to the November heads of state summit in Bali.

Vorobieva said there have been attempts by western countries to expel Russia from many world organisations, including the Group of 20 major economies, calling it a "disproportionate" reaction.

Russia, she added, appreciates Indonesia's "firm position", after Jakarta repeatedly said the forum was for resolving economic situations.

Indonesia, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the G20, has said it will keep the forum focused on the initial objectives, implying it was planning to keep Russia's invasion of Ukraine largely off the agenda.

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan had said Washington would consult with allies about Russia's G20 membership.

Russia was previously indefinitely suspended from the smaller Group of Eight major economies in 2014 over the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. The grouping was renamed the G7.
