The United States has sent an invitation to Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit. The reaction of European politicians to this event was heterogeneous.
MOSCOW, September 26 - RIA Novosti. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova wondered about the consistency of the positions of European leaders after their opposite reaction to the invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin to take part in the G20 summit in the United States.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier said that Washington had invited Putin to the G20 summit in the US. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told RIA Novosti that Russia is grateful and grateful for the invitation and it will be worked out.
“Do you think that within the European Union they consult with each other on at least some issues or are they simply voicing other people’s narratives when opening packages with the central control center?” - Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel.
She drew attention to the reaction of the head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, who “was very hard to hear” about Putin’s invitation to the G20 summit. At the same time, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful responded positively to the invitation, calling it a “litmus test” and called on “to take advantage of such opportunities.”
