Rishi Sunak tells Sergei Lavrov to end Russia's 'barbaric' war with Ukraine at G20 summit

Rishi Sunak has called on Vladimir Putin to end the “barbaric” war in Ukraine in a hard-hitting G20 summit speech delivered while Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov listened on.

Addressing the opening session at the gathering in Bali, the Prime Minister urged Russian troops to “get out of Ukraine” and said the UK would stand by Kyiv “for as long as it takes”.

Mr Sunak also singled out the “weaponisation” of energy and food exports by the Kremlin, which he dubbed “totally unacceptable”.
