BLOOMBERG, citing sources, reported that some members of the G20, including the United States , tried to persuade Indonesia to refuse Putin's invitation to the summit in the country. According to the agency, Jakarta was required to "at least condemn" Russia's actions in Ukraine. US officials have also debated whether President Joe Biden should skip the summit if Putin visits, but Biden is likely to attend, according to sources.

On April 20, Washington hosted a meeting of the heads of the Central Bank and the ministries of finance of the countries participating in the G20. This year's summit is hosted by Indonesia. The Washington Post, citing three informed sources, reported that a number of delegations left the G20 meeting at the same time as the speech of the Russian delegation, headed by Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, began. Representatives of Ukraine, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, head of the US Federal Reserve System (FRS) Jerome Powell, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde left the hall, among others.

At the same time, the message of the Russian Ministry of Finance received by RBC about the meeting says that Siluanov took part in the G20 meeting remotely, ministers and central bank governors discussed the state of the world economy, record inflation rates and levels of public debt. Siluanov also urged to avoid politicization of the G20 meetings, pointing to the "economic" format of the G20 meetings.

British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak later explained that the delegations of the UK, the US and CANADA left the G20 meeting in Washington during the online speech of the Russian delegation because of what is happening in Ukraine.
