Russian Minister to Attend G20 Trade Meeting in US Amid Sanctions

Russia's Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov will lead the delegation to the G20 trade ministers' meeting in Milwaukee, marking a rare high-level Russian participation in a US-hosted multilateral forum. The agenda includes condemning food trade 'weaponization' and addressing forced labor and overcapacity, topics that may create friction with Western members. This signals continued diplomatic engagement despite sanctions and the Ukraine conflict.
