The G20 is supposed to be a meeting featuring the leaders of the 20 largest economies in the world. But because Russia launched defensive operations in Ukraine, there is a push by the West to remove them from the G20.
Reuters: The United States and its Western allies are assessing whether Russia should remain within the G20 following its invasion of Ukraine.

China is opposing this move, rightly stating that the whole push to remove Russia is absurd.

Vladimir Putin is reportedly planning to attend any way.

If we are to use what’s going on in Ukraine as grounds for removing a country from the G20, the United States should have definitely been removed after their illegal invasions of Iraq and countless other places. There was no discussion of this when those atrocities occurred.
This push to remove Russia from the G20 is just more childish and infantile behavior from the West. They are eventually going to run out of things they can cancel Russia from. At that point, they will find that they themselves are the ones isolated from the rest of the world. A large portion of the world is not on board with all this anti-Russia hysteria.
