German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock criticised Moscow as being opposed to dialogue with international partners after diplomats said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov walked out of her speech to a Group of 20 meeting on Friday.

Speaking to German television from the G20 gathering in Bali, Baerbock said Lavrov “left the first session halfway through” and skipped a second session “which shows even more clearly that he’s not interested in international cooperation or dialogue with the other G19 partners”.
