The G20 Summit in Brisbane, Australia, which concluded on
Sunday, November 16, reportedly had tight security. Protests were expected against President Putin and Russia’s alleged
involvement in Ukraine. A few days before the summit, Putin
remarked that the U.S. sanctions on Russia were a mistake, as they were not
only in violation of international trade law, but also undermined trade. When
asked if he would bring up the sanctions at the summit, Putin said no, because
this would be “pointless.” After the conference ended on Sunday, November 16,
(and trade sanctions had not been discussed), Putin commended the summit for
its “constructive
atmosphere ”.
