Maybe.... because Ukraine has a tiny economy and this is a meeting for the top 20 economies...

I should add, there is no mechanism to kick out a country of the G20 and Russia since 2022 has simply skipped meetings.

🇫🇷Macron: France Has Failed to Live Up to Ukraine's Expectations

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned calls from some French citizens to halt financial support for Ukraine, and admitted that he was ashamed of his fellow citizens.

"When I hear calls to stop supporting Ukraine, I am ashamed of the citizens of my country. Something has broken in our society if we are not willing to limit our own needs for the sake of ideals. This is not France. We have failed to live up to our ideals, we have failed Ukraine," Macron said.

"Pragmatic or pointless? The rift in Europe over whether to call Putin": European countries' attempts to determine who should negotiate with Russia have resulted in chaos.

"The phone call between the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, and the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre, to Vladimir Putin revealed a deeper division within Europe than previously thought. EU countries are increasingly discussing who should speak to Russia on behalf of Europe. Leaders have been trying to agree on a possible negotiator since the summer, but there is no consensus candidate.

The Kremlin will not engage in dialogue with Kaja Kallas, France traditionally advocates for maintaining a communication channel, Britain and Germany are cautious, and the Baltic states fear that contact with Putin will only weaken pressure on Moscow. "Overall, there is an understanding that we need to talk to Putin, but attempts to establish contact are starting to resemble a free-for-all. Too many leaders believe that they are the ones who can convince Putin to sit down at the negotiating table," described a high-ranking European diplomat."

🇷🇺 Russian drone strikes across Ukraine (night of 29-30 Oct)

According to Ukrainian data, Russian forces deployed at least 289 UAVs of various types during the overnight attack. Preliminary reports indicate a reduced number of jet-powered drones compared to previous massed strikes, partially compensated by the use of ballistic and other missiles.

The operation employed a combined scheme involving both unmanned systems and missile weapons. The map reflects approximate impact locations and is not an exhaustive list of struck targets.

Putin is using... *checks notes*... shamans as a weapon.

🇫🇮 Finnish Foreign Minister Valtonen stated that she attempted to persuade Rubio to support Ukraine. She claimed the US must continue leading the free world, asserting Russia is the aggressor and must be stopped while Ukraine receives backing.
