Officials walk out of G20 meeting over Russia’s participation

Top finance officials from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom have walked out of a meeting of the Group of 20 major economies (G20) in protest of Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine.
Britain’s Finance Minister Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday that British, US and Canadian officials left the G20 meeting in Washington, DC as Russian delegates spoke.
The incident came amid the International Monetary Fund and World Bank spring meetings, in which finance heads gather to tackle the world’s most pressing issues.
The brutal impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine, which began in late February and this week has shifted to the country’s eastern Donbas region, has taken centre stage.
