Russian President Vladimir Putin informed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he won't attend the upcoming G20 Summit in Delhi next month. Instead, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will represent him. The two leaders also discussed global concerns during their conversation. India, hosting the summit, holds the G20 presidency, with world leaders like US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak attending. The summit's discussions are expected to include Russia's Ukraine invasion. Putin recently attended the Brics summit virtually due to an ICC warrant against him for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.
