European ministers at the G20 meeting in the US refused to participate in a joint photo with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, leading to the cancellation of the traditional group photo. This decision was a symbol of the ongoing tensions between the West and Russia, particularly over the war in Ukraine. Some ministers, like Germany's Heiko Maas, argued that posing with Lavrov would send the wrong visual signals and that there could be no return to 'business as usual' with Russia.
