Guess who’s coming to Bali? President Vladimir Putin. Vorobyova fielded questions surrounding Putin’s appearance in Bali amid the ongoing war. “Depends on the situation [later], [but] so far he (Putin) wants to come to the G20 Summit,” said Vorobyova.
President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to visit Bali later this year to attend the G20 Summit despite calls to exclude Russia from the event following the country’s invasion of Ukraine, an official has confirmed. Speaking in a press conference in Jakarta earlier today, Russia’s ambassador to Indonesia Lyudmila
As previously reported, many countries, such as the US, have imposed sanctions against Russia since the country invaded neighboring Ukraine on Feb. 24. Some of the sanctions include blocking Russia-issued bank cards that have put many travelers from the country in limbo and out of funds abroad. Despite calls to exclude Russia from G20, Vorobyova said that her country
aims to support Indonesia’s presidency of the intergovernmental forum and the summit, which will be held in Bali towards the end of this year. “Indonesia being G20 leader is not to talk about the Russia-Ukraine crisis, but more about improving the global economy as well as other issues. Excluding Russia [from G20] is not going to help the global economy,” she said. Aside from a tweet by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo denouncing war in general, Indonesia has not imposed any sanctions on Russia, and, as such, was not included in Putin’s “shit list.” (coconuts.co)

CANGGU WEEKLY 5 ‘He must be considered as a war criminal’: Ukraine’s ambassador to Indonesia criticizes Vladimir Putin’s planned Bali visit www.cangguweekly.com
Speaking at a press conference in Jakarta yesterday, Vorobyova argued that excluding Putin from the G20 Summit would not end the ongoing war. In addition, she said that the G20 Summit is a forum to talk about the global economy and not for discussions about the Ukraine-Russia crisis.
Ukraine’s ambassador to Indonesia, Vasyl Hamianin, has denounced the planned appearance of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin at the 2022 G20 Bali Summit in November this year. Speaking to Coconuts today, Hamianin also reflected on today marking one month since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. “He must be considered as [a] war criminal. Guilty of crime against humanity,” Hamianin said in an interview with Coconuts. “According to the international law and principles of humanity worldwide, [Putin] must not take part in any authoritative and prestigious summits, forums, any international meetings whatsoever,” he added, saying that Putin’s appearance at the G20 Summit would be an “insult” to democracy. As reported yesterday, Russia’s Ambassador to Indonesia Lyudmila Vorobyova confirmed President Putin’s plans to visit the G20 Summit in Bali despite calls to exclude Russia from the event in November.
“Let me disagree with what she [has said],” said Hamianin. Hamianin said that Vorobyova’s statement was “very traditional logic of Russia propaganda” and mentioned that Russia had also expressed in the past that “sanctions, condemnation” toward the country could not stop the war. “What can stop the war? Only the goodwill of Putin can stop the war?” he asked rhetorically, before adding that “it’s really important to take measures to limit the ability of Russia to produce weapons to attack civilians.” The ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis has reportedly put Indonesia, which holds the G20 presidency for the first time, in an awkward position. The increasing calls for excluding Russia from the summit poses a question on whether welcoming Putin to Bali in Indonesia would jeopardize Indonesia’s own interests in G20. “I believe that the wisdom and experience of Indonesia will lead to the right solution,” Hamianin answered

diplomatically when asked about the situation. According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, 902 civilians have been killed and 1,459 have been wounded in the war in Ukraine. The data was recorded between Feb. 24 and March 20, but the office warned the actual number could be higher than reported. Most casualties were hit by “explosive weapons with a wide impact area, including shelling from heavy artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems, and missile and airstrikes,” OHCHR said. “We don’t have time for long negotiations,” Hamianin said in reflection of the one month since the invasion started. Speaking to a local news outlet today, Indonesia’s G20 co-sherpa Dian Triansyah Djani said it is the responsibility of all G20 presidents to invite all G20 members to the summit based on “principles, rules, and procedures.” Therefore, according to Dian, Indonesia has the obligation to invite all G20 members for the 2022 Summit, reiterating that the main agenda of G20 is global economic recovery.

G20 Bali Summit: The Russians are Coming ruthless and unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation with a democraticallyelected government, Russia has bogged down militarily in Ukraine while facing growing political opposition at home.
The Jakarta Post, NusaBali.com, and Kompas.com confir m that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to join the G20 Summit in Bali in the last two days of October 2022. That summit is expected to bring 36 heads of state delegation and 7,000 delegates and press. Lyudmila Vorobieva, Russian Ambassador to Jakarta, was quoted by The Jakarta Post on Wednesday, 23 March 2022, saying that Putin would attend despite a growing chorus of voices calling for the Russian Federation’s ouster from the G20. Economic blockades, financial embargoes, and moves to have Russia and Putin declared war criminals were precipitated by Russia’s selfdescribed “special operation” that commenced on 24 February 2022. Widely portrayed internationally as a
As the host of the G20 and the President of the Conference for 2020, Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s desire to host a successful conference themed on global recovery and cooperation is now in some jeopardy. Speaking at a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday, 23 March 2022, Vorobieva suggested Putin’s final attendance at the Bali Summit will be determined by several factors, including the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. In any case, the Russian President’s plan remains to travel to Bali for the G20. Quoted by Kompas.com, the Russian Ambassador said efforts to oust Russia from the G20 represent an “inappropriate reaction” to current circumstances. The Russian Ambassador’s comments were made amidst calls by the U.S. Government and several Western powers for Russia to be expelled from G20 membership following its invasion of Ukraine. Vorobieva said that any move to remove Russia from the G20 would represent a retreat for an

organization established to respond to the world economic crisis caused by COVID-19 and unite global forces to meet global economic challenges. Ambassador Vorobieva added that Russia supports the G20 Presidency of Indonesia and the G20 Summit slogan of “Recover Together, Recover Stronger.” He said he hoped Indonesia would not succumb to the anti-Russian pressure exerted against Indonesia and several western countries.
