Brussels, September 24 (KUNA) -- The European Union reaffirmed on Thursday its condemnation of Russia’s war on Ukraine and its call for an end to the conflict during Group of 20 (G20) meetings, despite the United States’ invitation for Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the G20 summit in Miami next December. This was stated by EU spokesperson Eyleen Kivimäki in a press statement, adding that the EU “has consistently and forcefully used G20 meetings since 2022 to condemn Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and to call for its end.” She further noted, “What I can say today is that this approach, from the EU’s perspective, will continue regardless of who participates in any G20 meeting.” She clarified that Russia remains a member of the G20 and has “the right to participate in the group’s meetings, including at the ministerial and leader levels.” (End) A.R.N. / A.M.S.
