At the G20 foreign ministers' meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was severely criticized for Ukraine and put him in an embarrassing position. What was even more surprising was that his plane was denied refueling, almost leaving him stranded in Rio de Janeiro. This incident has aroused international attention and demonstrated the intensity and complexity of the international diplomatic struggle.
At the G20 meeting of foreign ministers, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was harshly criticized by Western diplomats and isolated. He showed passivity and embarrassment in the face of direct accusations from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and others at the meeting. This isolation and criticism is not only surprising, but also highlights the brutality of the international political struggle.
Not only diplomats from the United States and other Western countries harshly criticized Lavrov, even observers from Norway noted that Lavrov tried to justify himself using alternative facts. This kind of accusations and criticism in diplomatic forums put heavy pressure on Lavrov, causing him to be troubled and embarrassed at the meeting.
Lavrov's situation at the meeting showed the dissatisfaction and resistance of Western countries to Russia's foreign policy, and demonstrated the concern and condemnation of the international community for the Ukraine issue.
Despite the harsh criticism and isolation, Lavrov did not choose to retreat in a low-key manner, but sarcastically pointed out the "arrogant position" and "Russophobia" of Western countries through rhetorical sarcasm. He tried to maintain Russia's image and position in the diplomatic arena, showing the courage and firmness of a statesman.
Lavrov's performance at this meeting, although controversial, demonstrated a diplomat's ability to cope with difficult situations and political wisdom, and made people think about and pay attention to his diplomatic views and positions.
In addition to the embarrassment at the G20 foreign ministers' meeting, Lavrov also encountered unexpected difficulties on his way out of Rio de Janeiro, where his Il-96 plane almost failed to take off due to the refusal of a Brazilian company to refuel. This incident has not only aroused the attention of the outside world, but also exposed some hidden rules and contests in international diplomacy.
According to reports, Brazilian companies refused to refuel the Il-96 special plane of the Russian delegation because they were afraid of secondary sanctions from the United States, so they refused to provide services, causing Lavrov's special plane to fall into refueling difficulties. This problem, which arises from strategic and political considerations, illustrates the complexity and balance of power in international relations.
Faced with the dilemma that the special plane could not be refueled, Brazil** finally came forward to solve the problem and invited Lavrov as a "travel companion" to meet Brazil** on the special plane of the Brazilian foreign minister. The flexible use of such diplomatic means shows a way of diplomatic assistance and negotiation to settle the problem, and also highlights the diplomatic contest and game in international politics.
The occurrence of the special plane refueling incident not only exposed a certain fragility and dependence in international relations, but also demonstrated the confrontation of interests and positions between countries in practice, and triggered people's thinking and discussion on international relations and diplomatic paths.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's embarrassing encounter at the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting and the difficulty in refueling the plane have highlighted the complexity and competitiveness of international politics. The criticism and accusations of Western countries against Russia, as well as the contest of strength and contradictions in international diplomacy, have put Lavrov and Russia under pressure and challenges on the international stage. The occurrence of these events has not only affected the development and pattern of international relations, but also triggered people's thinking and reflection on foreign policy and international norms. In the arena of international politics, every subtle move and decision may trigger major impacts and consequences, which requires all countries to remain vigilant and respond flexibly in order to safeguard national interests and international peace and stability.
