File photoBANGKOK, Jul 19 At the G20 ministerial meeting in Bali, there was no talk of «isolation» of Russia, heads of delegations from countries other than G7 members lined up for bilateral meetings with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Lyudmila Vorobyova, Russian Ambassador to Indonesia, who participated in the event, told RIA Novosti."This was also obvious during the bilateral meetings of Sergei Viktorovich, by the way, about any "isolation" Russia is out of the question, simply because there was a queue for bilateral meetings with the minister, so it was very difficult to include everyone in the schedule", Vorobyova said.
The Ambassador stated the obvious desire of the event participants to understand Moscow's position. «Unlike Westerners, of course, who neither hear nor want to hear. So the position of our G20 partners is constructive, with the exception of the Sevens,» Vorobyova explained. According to the ambassador, the atmosphere at the meeting «was , of course, tense, but without excesses, so to speak.Zakharova called the departure of Truss on the eve of the G20 meeting a boycott of Russia «No one ran out of the hall screaming, so to speak, and this is largely, by the way, thanks to the efforts of the Indonesian chairmanship, which showed simply miracles of diplomacy so that everything went quite constructively,» the head summed up Russian diplomatic mission, adding that at the ministerial meeting, of course, Russophobic statements and attacks on Russia by representatives of Western states were still not without. «But in general, perhaps, the situation was more or less acceptable,» she concluded. Germany Annalena Burbock previously told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Bali that Lavrov's behavior at a meeting with colleagues in the G20 indicates that the Russian authorities do not show «a millimeter» of readiness for negotiations. According to her, this is indicated by the fact that «most of the negotiations» at the G20 Lavrov «carried out not indoors, but outside it.» Commenting on these words, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that «the G-7 plan to boycott Russia failed.» She later said that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was making up stories about isolating the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the country as a whole within the framework of the summit. 
Europe suffers most from anti-Russian sanctions, Lavrov said
