Russia and its supporters have deceptively tried to spin the way Germany's top diplomat was greeted in India versus her Russian counterpart to imply New Delhi's support for Moscow and its actions in Ukraine.
“Differences in how Russian and German Foreign Ministers Sergey Lavrov and Annalena Baerbock were met in India.”On March 2, foreign ministers from the Group of 20 leading economies met in New Delhi as part of India’s preparations to host the eighteenth G20 meeting, set for September., with India issuing a statement noting that “most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine and stressed it is causing immense human suffering and exacerbating existing fragilities in the global economy.
The clip is misleading, implying that differences in the way the two diplomats were greeted reveals India’s position on Russia and its invasion of Ukraine. “[Baerbock] was one of the first ministers to arrive on Thursday and we had to transfer her to the conference center. We said: ‘You know, this is a little early. Why don’t you stay in the plane for a while?’ And she said, ‘ja, ja, let’s stay in the plane,’ and she had some breakfast. And then, spontaneously, she decided to leave the plane without the receiving line being formed, but that was an entire German problem. It has nothing to do with Indian protocol.
