German Vice-Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil confronted Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at the G20 finance ministers’ meeting in Asheville, calling Russia’s presence “irritating” and warning against normalizing relations with Moscow while its war in Ukraine continues. Klingbeil said he told Siluanov directly that Russia must end the war and joined other European representatives in opposing his inclusion in the G20 “family photo,” which was ultimately taken without him. EU Economy Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis also criticized engagement with Russia, citing ongoing attacks against civilians. The confrontation came as U.S. President Donald Trump defended inviting Siluanov, while the Russian minister separately met Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss a Ukraine peace plan. #russia, #ukraine, #germany, #g20, #klingbeil, #antonsiluanov, #trump, #donaldtrump, #ukrainewar, #russiaukrainewar, #geopolitics, #worldnews, #breakingnews, #g20summit, #germanyrussia, #
