The G20 group photo was canceled by the U.S. after European diplomats refused to pose with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the decision to avoid further conflicts. Tensions within the G20 are high due to discussions on interconnected economic and geopolitical crises, including the war in Ukraine. Polish and German officials supported the cancellation, emphasizing the need for serious discussions without sending false signals of normalcy with Russia. Concerns about Russia's invitation to the G20 have also been raised due to recent attacks on Ukraine.
