Thank you for this very nice piece of work ! I truly believe this podcast is enlightening and thought-provoking. In fact, a topic in particular raised in my mind regarding Charles Michel’s position on the foreseen presence of Russia in the G20. Can the EU really sit down with Russia while giving access to Ukraine and Moldova the status of EU candidate ? It seems the EU is trying to find a middle ground there but can we consider it credible/acceptable when looking at the situation in Ukraine + the position held by the EU up until now towards Russia (I.e. sanctions and embargos).
Food for thoughts of course. Happy to discuss further with you :)
Well, I think it would be weird for G7 leaders to miss the G20, with so much at stake. Also, what would be the interest of the G20 without the US, Japan, Germany, France?..
Furthermore, it would be a good occasion to show that although leaders dialog, the West (and possibly India, China, if we find arguments to convince them) has a strong and united position against Putin.
